Well, actually Star Trek and religion do intersect, and there are churches in the US which use ST as a structure.
ST is very moral, hence stuff like the Prime Directive, and Gene Roddenberry was a major force in popularising what we now call multi-culturalism.
I'm officially a Jedi. Like many techies and Jews, I was horrified that the government was building a census database of religious belief. This list is incredibly useful to dangerous racist gangs.
Some here don't like my view on relgion, and some may mistake my contempt for superstition with a desire to hurt people who have imiginary friends.
Imagine I was such a person.
As it happens, I have had access to various government databases, not open to the general public. A couple had their security setup designed by me.
I'm not actually in a a very exclusive club. There's more people doing "sensitive" IT for the government than in the RAF.
Also, we regularly read of civil servants "surfing" personal records. Dozens are sacked per year, and that's just the ones they catch.
The census database has almost no controls on access, and I'd guess somethingl ike a quarter of a million people have access to it.
The civil service is not keen on the BNP, etc, but of course it is pretty certain there's some very bad individuals there, as in any outfit.
Thus BNP types have access to a list of Moslem, Jewish etc home addresses. You think that's good ?
