Or they agree with the goals of the good, but don't agree with fighting the evils to bring it about.

Nikis-Knight is correct. From the History:
So in my mind the angels of good and neutrality are basically on the same side. Though every angel follows his own goals, and Dagda, who is the most influential of the "neutral" angels, wants to avoid a war.
The distinctions of good and neutral are mortal distinctions. The gods that care for Nature, Earth, Air, Water, Death, Metamagic (ie: Knowledge) and Force (ie: Judgement) are called neutral by men because they don't care for men as part of their dominion and they don't battle the fallen gods as directly as the good gods do.
Most fantasy worlds have a pretty direct god to worshipper relationship. There is little to be lost in translation whent he god himself can come down and yell at you when you aren't doing what he wants. I never had that in the D&D game, the religions were usually a creation of men attemptoiing to understand the gods through limited knowledge. And because of that were often as flawed and incorrect as they were likely to be correct.

One idea for a 'religion' I think that would be kind of neat would be something that supported Humanoid supremacy over gods and such. So it would be I suppose, a narcissistic religion.
And I like the DnD spectrum of Good/Evil Lawful/Chaotic. Can't neutral alignment can also reflect either an undecided state or contradicting beliefs?

The closest you would get in FfH canon is the Grigori, which isn't really far off. They preach escape from the gods, effectively that the gods are redundant.

Danalin (the god worshipped by the poorly named Octopus Overlords) is actually the water god. But he is asleep and and demons (lead by Hastur, scion of Mammon) are whispering into his ear and causing nightmares. Hence the very bizarre and chaotic overlords religion.
