Wait, what does this have to do with religion? Are you suggesting that bad people are not religious, and good people are? I'm not sure I follow you otherwise.

If we find our way into a Trek-like future, it certainly won't be credited to silly devotions to archaic texts and mysticism.

1st para:
False. Science has proven many times over that religion is logical.

Religion increases social trust, among other things:

(note how the negatives of religion are almost all negative actions towards 'outsiders' which is actually a positive in practical terms)

the importance of social trust:

2nd para:
also false, and doubly so- the future won't be Trek and it will be due to archaic texts and mysticisms-

Personally, my favorite ST is Voyager due to it's gritty, anti-PC realism. They finally put a woman in charge and what does she do? Gets them lost for 8 seasons, never admitting its her fault for getting them lost and never being practical when opportunities to get home regularly occurred.

Seriously (?) though, my favorite ST episodes are the ones from the last season of ST: Enterprise where they go into a mirror universe. I loved how it meshed w/ the original ST episodes, and especially loved the window into a much more badass world than the namby-pamby pearl-clutchers of the Federation. Perhaps someday Trump and Putin will be able to unite the 2 halves of the world that each will soon possess into 1 through a marriage between Barron and a Putin granddaughter. When their line is united in a Child who sits upon the Golden Throne shall we then venture boldly into space. Not as cringeing explorers, but as triumphant conquerors.
