New Star Trek Discovery Series Set In Universe “Without God”

There’s no God in the Star Trek universe – and an exchange relayed by Entertainment Weekly confirms it. Filming an episode of the forthcoming Star Trek: Discovery, Jason Isaacs as Captain Gabriel Lorca instructs his crew to target a Klingon warbird, ad-libbing ‘Fire at something, for God’s sakes!’ However, director Kirsten Beyer tells him he can’t say that, explaining creator Gene Roddenberry’s vision of the future in the 23rd century does not include religion. ‘Wait, I can’t say ‘God’?’ Isaacs asks Beyer, according to EW […] Roddenberry’s atheism has long been acknowledged in the series, as the Daily Telegraph notes. In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode Who Watches the Watchers?, Captain Jean-Luc Picard is mistaken for a God by a primitive civilization and insists on telling them there is no God. ‘Millennia ago, they abandoned their belief in the supernatural,’ Picard says. ‘Now you are asking me to sabotage that achievement, to send them back into the dark ages of superstition and ignorance and fear? No.’

I can believe that! I like Star Trek however the statement above does not surprise me one whit. I'm currently watching the entire 5 season Roddenberry series "Earth Final Conflict" with friends on Sunday evenings three or four episodes at a time & we are currently in season two. Very new-agey androgynous overly effeminate aliens called Taelons. There is some very serious 'predictive programming' in this series.

Season 1 episode 1 is below for those unfamiliar. I think all the episodes are on YouTube. I have the DVD's.

An androgynous alien species called the Taelons arrive on earth, claiming to be companions of humanity, putting an end to crime, illness, and famine. Some are suspicious of the Taleons, and form a resistance movement. The resistance soon learned that the force that sustains the Taelons are breaking down, and they are using humans as test subjects in experiments to help save their species.
