How many alien starfleet captians exist in tREK?

Kira's journey in that arc was realizing that the church's orthodoxy may not always be true and may represent institutional biases. But that's not the same thing as rejecting faith in the Prophets.

Remember -- she was excommunicated because of an accurate prophecy conveyed to an ancient Bajoran apparently by the Prophets. If anything, her excommunication would re-affirm her faith in the Prophets, even if it undermined her faith in the church.

If anything, her negative experiences with the Bajoran Church could've been what compelled her to become more involved --trying to improve the institution from within rather than simply rejecting it full-stop.

Which, come to think of it, is probably exactly what compelled her to put on a Militia uniform all those years ago (as opposed to becoming a renegade survivalist hermit as many former Resistance fighters did).

To be fair, humans are awesome.

But we don't have any of the superpowers other species do, and we have such weak foreheads...

An andorian or orion captain could work. They are"human" enough.
