==Comments on Religion==

Star Trek: The Next Generation has numerous examples of anti-religion bias. Well-known examples include the 3rd season episode entitled "Who Watches the Watchers," where it is implied that an alien culture discarding religious beliefs is a positive development. Religious parents may wish to be wary if their children watch "Who Watches the Watchers,". In the episode "Tapestry", Captain Picard dies and goes to the "afterlife" he makes a comment "The Universe is not so badly run." This suggests that perhaps the Captain believed there was a deity but he had never been exposed to a formal religion. However the majority of episodes remain agnostic on religion.

Star Trek: Deep Space 9 was heavily influenced by religion. The one of the major religions was; The Bajoran profets (sometimes called Wormhole Aliens), who existed in the celestial temple (normally called the Wormhole). Their purpose was to protect the Bajorans, and fight the evil spirits called Pah-wraiths. In the dominion the founders (shape-shifters) were believed to be (and treated as) gods (in the episode "The Ship" and many others). For klingons there was Sto-vo-kor (what they called heaven). Klingons coming to Sto-vo-kor meant that they had fought as honorable warriors in their life (as is seen in "Image in the Sand" and many others). The Ferangi had a religion in The Great River (as shown in "Faith, Treachery and The Great River"), which was similar to "[[The invisible hand]]" a phrase coined by [[Adam Smith]].
