You're really reaching at straws when you equivocate a captain admitting humans have believed in one god vs a captain making a religious appeal to God.
Starfleet doesn't condemn religion, but again, that DOES NOT mean they endorse it. You religious buffoons always utterly fail to understand what kind of humanity is portrayed.
You know what I said about your own bias colouring your argument? yeahhhhhhhhhhhh
I'm not religious. I'm utterly, completely atheistic. I don't believe in shit. To the point where I view the hysterical prosetylisation of atheism the same way I view hysterical prosetylisation of any religion. It bores me. It's idiotic and incredibly solipsistic.
The way you're acting right now ironically, is exactly how you're claiming Pike praying in a moment of personal desperation and distress is. Worse, actually, because at least trek framed it like a casual agnostic going "well I can't do shit here, maybe prayer would work"
NO ONE in starfleet has endorsed religion, ok maybe DS9 gets grey area-ing with the whole emissary thing, but where are you getting all these straw men from. What orifice are you pulling them out of. It can't be comfortable having them all up there.
Edit: hahahah rewriting your comments dude? Really? Stand by your words.
