    Lion the witch and the Wardrobe or The Golden Compass. Both these books have christian or anti christian overviews.

    It depends what you are interested in, but some good ones, I think are as follows

    Lord of the Flies by William Golding
    –a bunch of English schoolboys are stranded on an island by themselves. They attempt to survive together and govern themselves, but it progresses into a savage existence. Very good. It is a representation of the idea that a society created by man fails, as well as the controversial argument of human nature. Much symbolism.

    Animal Farm by George Orwell
    –don’t laugh–animals take over a farm, expelling all things human and try to create a civil society. However, they find themselves progressing towards the same existence they started with–but with different oppressors. A representation of the authority manipulation and the inability to reach utopia.

    One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey
    –a highly-controlled mental ward is shaken when a rowdy new patient comes in, questioning all the rules imposed that keep the patients in a docile, submissive, fearful existence. A recurring theme of silent manipulative control in society.

    These three are just starters, but if you go to sparknotes or look on google, you can find large lists of books that fit your paper.
