In DS9 the Prophets clearly exist. However the theocratic elements of Bajoran society are clearly under humanoid control and work no differently than the political face of religions we are familiar with on Earth.

The Kill Six Billion Demons webcomic has one that isn't particularly dystopian - the demiurge Solomon David's slice of creation. It looks pretty good from the outside, but it's definitely authoritarian on the inside. Probably a damn sight better for average people than the realms of any of the other demiurges, though.
