Roddenberry thought of himself as a [[humanist]].<ref>http://www.iheu.org/node/1456</ref> Christian apologist JP Holding said of Roddenberry, "The funny thing is that a humanist like Gene Roddenberry could conceive of beings like the Organians without blinking an eye, but also could reject the supernatural as impossible." <ref>http://www.tektonics.org/af/christianmyths.html</ref> He also was something of a [[Utopia|utopist]], which often permeates the ''Star Trek'' franchise such as there not being a concept of money within the Federation, and also permeated into ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' and ''Star Trek: Deep Space Nine'', where he demonized capitalism via the Ferengi.
