Is the apocalypse still God's fault?

As modern day filmmakers and storytellers attempt to retell apocalyptic stories, I wonder: do modern-day adaptations of apocalypse stories remove the element of the super-natural or divine? 

            According to Pagels, “The Book of Revelation reads as if John had wrapped up all our worst fears—fears of violence, plague, wild animals, unimaginable horrors from the abyss below the earth, lightning, hail, earthquakes and the atrocities or torture and war—into one gigantic nightmare.” It can be interpreted that Pagels is claiming that the apocalypse is a reflection of society’s greatest fear at the time.  An example of this is the Cold War; people weren’t worried about locusts as much as they were worried about nuclear bombs being dropped on their cities.  Hollywood movie makers took advantage of this and produced movies like Dr. Strangelove and Red Dawn that spoke to people’s paranoia.  As of more recently, people have begun to worry about viral infections and this has also been reflected through modern day film; movies such as World War Z and Contagion show apocalyptic epidemics that come as a result of viral infections.

            By creating these movies that reflect society’s greatest fear, filmmakers have effectively removed a sense of the divine from the apocalypse.  Technically, in order to consider something an apocalypse, there has to be an element of the supernatural, but now people are much more concerned about nuclear bombs and viral infections as opposed to locusts.  A reason for this may be because it makes people feel they can control their own fate, such as coming to a peace resolution or developing a vaccine that can save civilization; as opposed to the alternative of God’s wrath raining down and effectively ending the world.
