Yeah, Pumpkin, I think religion is handled rather well in DS9. I mean, especially for science fiction. The evolution of the story and the cast as the series goes forward is really amazingly equatable. I think that's why I love it so much. It's not black & white, all sides are given a fair say and the show doesn't tell the audience what to think. Thing is, there are people like Winn. There really are people who use religion to their own gain, and it's important to show that. But DS9 also shows that despite there being people like Winn, those people don't represent the entire religion. It's actually a really positive message in the end. I thought the show was just going to bash religion, too, but it's really not about that, I promise.
