Religion in Discovery

[jdftheman]

There is already one big religion on the server, it even has it's commandments:

2.1 Thy shalt not cheat
2.3 Thy shalt not hack the server
2.4 Thy shalt not threath to hack
3.1 Thy shalt not use coarse language

etc.
The game is set somethousand years into the future, if we look at our own world, we see that religion is becoming less important already. So it isn't unlikely that religion will die out for the most part, with only a few religious groups left. Also it wouldn't be too big of a surprise if that big war that caused everyone to move away from the sol-system was started due to religious conflicts (same as we see in the real world, directly or indirectly). So maybe to prevent that from happening again, they decided to ban religion.

Maybe in the Western World religion is dying out a little, but I think it still has alot of influence on day to day affairs. For example (and please don't take this wrong) if you would count how often Bush used the word God when talking about the war in Irac, you would be supprised. Or to take a look at the opposing faction (terrorists), I think you can say that almost 99% of terorist attacks have to do with a clash of religions. It may seem like religion is fading away into the night, but facts are it isn't.

O and ofcourse you still have that famous sentence: "Religion is the opium of the people" (i think it was Marcks who said that.)
