If we assume the converse, that religion/mythology is how the characters percive the writers, then it stands to reason that the generally more 'evil' gods (tricksters like Loki) or destructive events like Ragnarok are a sort of 'writer war'.
Although, if we assume the 'gods' are self inserts, and they people behind the divine screen are really just trying to write a good story, then there is a very real chance the wars of our world are merely another part of the story, the supposed 'plot-twist'.
