Are there any other authors that have some sort of religious theme in their works? After reading Dosto or Tolstoy, I just really want to do something good, or do the right thing.

Most pre-modern authors do. If you want something in the same vein as them though I would suggest Portrait of a Young Man as an Artist by Joyce

I mean building a prison for yourself and other people and justifying it with fairy tales is not something that ought to be done.
