Dune actually has a number of religions [1], normally based on a fusion of modern-day religions. It's also worth noting that banned technology exists in Star Trek. The Earth government has banned genetic modification after the disaster that was the Eugenics War [2].

However, there's a big exception in the 2nd season episode of TNG where there's a colony genetically engineering kids with super immune systems and this creates a disease that infects Pulaski. Star Trek has a lot of inconsistencies.
- tnecniv 10y agoI couldn't remember if Bashir was modified at a planet inside the federation or not so I just kept it to Earth for safety.
- Arizhel 10y agoIt was a major plot point that Bashir was modified at all, and this made him basically "an illegal", and ineligible to serve in Starfleet. The planet had nothing to do with it, it was a Federation-wide law.
