Singing "Jerusalem" with Bashir was about as close Star Trek ever came to acknowledging traditional Earth religions.
Picard celebrated Christmas in the Nexus.
Voyager's Doctor played a Preacher in one of the Fairhaven episodes.
"The Son" cult from TOS Bread and Circuses.
Both Christmas and Thanksgiving were celebrated on Kirk's Enterprise - Christmas party shenanigans between Noel (!) and Kirk; Charles Evans making real Thanksgiving turkeys.
"The Son" cult was locals on the planet, not Federation people.
It was an Earth duplicate, and in the end Uhura agreed that Jesus was the tops.
Not really a duplicate, not like Miri's planet. The Roman Empire didn't fall and give way to a troubled medieval period.
Pretty sure Uhura just said that the planet's people believed it, not that she believed it.
KIRK: And strong personal feelings, he obeyed the Prime Directive. His temporary blackout of the city below resulted in no interference with the society and yet saved the lives of myself and the landing party.
SCOTT: Thank you, Captain.
(Scott leaves as McCoy and Spock enter the Bridge.)
KIRK: Gentlemen.
MCCOY: Captain, I see on your report Flavius was killed. I am sorry. I liked that huge sun worshiper.
SPOCK: I wish we could have examined that belief of his more closely. It seems illogical for a sun worshiper to develop a philosophy of total brotherhood. Sun worship is usually a primitive superstition religion.
UHURA: I'm afraid you have it all wrong, Mister Spock, all of you. I've been monitoring some of their old-style radio waves, the empire spokesman trying to ridicule their religion. But he couldn't. Don't you understand? It's not the sun up in the sky. It's the Son of God.
KIRK: Caesar and Christ. They had them both. And the word is spreading only now.
MCCOY: A philosophy of total love and total brotherhood.
SPOCK: It will replace their imperial Rome, but it will happen in their twentieth century.
KIRK: Wouldn't it be something to watch, to be a part of? To see it happen all over again? Mister Chekov, take us out of orbit. Ahead warp factor one.
CHEKOV: Aye, sir.
All Earth's including Kirk's earth, that are geographically identical, are fake. (Head canon)
There's a bunch of aliens studying Apocali, so they built thousands of identical earths, to watch them die, one after the other and then record their findings.
Is the one we're on the Real One?
"Lower Decks" has Muslim and Sikh background characters.
One thing I liked about the "Starfleet Academy" comic book was Kamilah Goldstein had both Jewish and Muslim parents.
It's logical.I find it illogical and maybe offensive that Spock just assumes that because a culture is pagan and worships the sun that that means they are "primative" and somehow can't have a society based on brotherhood. I mean, how are Vulcan's religious beliefs so superior?
