I find that religion adds an interesting dimension to space sci-fi - Dune, The Expanse, and even some of the Riddick movies feature religion in varying degrees.

- nabla9 2y agoIt can. Religion can be used well either philosophically, explain motivations, explore humanity, or as a social commentary. Kurt Vonnegut or PKD for example. PKD was genuinely spiritual in weird but interesting way. In Galactica a its near constant in the dialogue and its bad. They just repeat religious phrases without any substance and do it a lot. It's like everybody is an atheist playing religious role playing game. Just platitudes.
