Something I noticed over the years is that many people who define themselves as atheist are big fans of Star Trek.
As I first watched Star Trek as I was a child, I thought it was very silly. My Father really liked it. For me this was just another kind of Muppet Show. The costumes looked unrealistic to me. Really scary aliens like the ones from “Alien” films existed, but the Star Trek species looked like costumed humans to me.
As I was little older, I had a friend who watched Star Trek. I was an ass and often joked about the alien people in the series. Most species looked just like humans with a strange kind of skin disease to me, people with cramping in their neck (Cardassians) or hybrids between humans and gremlins(Ferengi)
I have met many people who where anti-christian, interested in popular science magazines and also liked Star Trek.
One guy freaked out, as I said the following:
“I don’t see how Religion and Star Trek differ. Star Trek has unrealistic physics like time travel, interstellar space travel, shooting lasers like bullets and beaming.
There are gods like Q or wormhole creatures. People get chosen for a bigger plan by those creatures.
I don’t see much difference between religious stories and Star Trek”
He answered:
“How dare you to compare something so wonderful like Star Trek, to this religious bullshit?
Start Trek is far more possible than Bible stories, Q is more realistic than this imaginary god!”
What I also noticed is that many Atheists believe in unrealistic things like cloning of dinosaurs, interstellar space travel, aliens visited earth, ancient astronauts/ancient aliens, parallel worlds, parapsychology or that epigenetic mechanisms are superior and can be used to change living peoples bodies.
Is Science Fiction the Mythology/Religion of the Atheists?
