And as for specifically rationalist stories, you might want to check the Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman.

what? no! Dark materials is specifically anti-christian, but the characters are not AT ALL rationalists. They often do stupid things and everything gets saved by random deus ex machina rather than cunning plots. It's an inverse Narnia, which is not rationality.
