In the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher, they can be held back by any symbol of power that the wielder has faith in and the stronger the faith, the stronger the symbol. For example, Harry, the main character and a wizard, uses a pentagram instead of a cross because he has faith in his magic.

I've always thought that was pretty cool and it means that theoretically a devout Pastafarian could use the symbol of the Flying Spaghetti Monster to protect themselves from vampires.

    A pastafarian holding back vampires is exactly the kind of thing that would happen in the Dresden files.

    Perhaps, though the Flying Spaghetti Monster is more of a rhetorical device than something people tend to sincerely believe.

    It’s hard enough in vampire fiction to find true believers in conventional religion.
