Dante and Milton certainly had ancillary goals, sub-goals, to writing their epic poems. However, it seems to me that their main goal was to glorify God. Milton wants to do this by justifying God doing things the way he did concerning the Fall. Dante wants to do this by showing how medieval courtly love should eventually transform into love of the divine. That's my assessment, at least.
Are there any other great writers that write with the overarching goal of glorifying God?

Both were closet atheists, way too smart to be Christians and too attached to their heads to be outspoken . Milton wanted to take down the monarchy and Dante wanted to get laid.

Dante's Divine Comedy literally started the Western world-view shift from teocentric into anthropocentric.

I've never read a comment that's more wrong than this. If ypu actually read their works, you will understand why that isn't true.
