I agree. My favorite religion-themed episode is "Who Watches The Watchers" from TNG. That's the one where they're observing a primitive group of people and one of them gets injured and while on board the Enterprise in sick bay he sees Picard gives out orders to everyone, so when he gets back he starts telling everyone about "The Picard".
Ironically, I was a theist at the time that episode first aired. I didn't like the episode at all. Now that I'm an atheist, I of course see its point. But, truth be told, I still find the episode a bit "heavy handed". _________________ Please visit my site at www.caseagainstfaith.com featuring critiques of Lee Strobel and other apologetics

Wow, I have to go back and watch star trek, I never noticed those, as I was in the same boat as caseagainst! And I love TNG as it is, so it shouldn't be too hard

Star Trek is one of the best atheist shows ever created.
QFT when I was younger like 9 or 10. I watched voyager for like 2 or 3 minutes then get bored and change the channel. but now I could watch a voyager marathon from the first episode to the last no problem.
We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes.
