What do you want to see in the first Discovery Trailer?

Hopefully they actually show us relevant stuff and don't jack around with scenes like someone plunging a stopped up toilet, characters eating in the mess hall, or the Captain playing catch with his dog. Basically we know nothing at all about the series and all of the promo stuff released to date hasn't helped that at all.
 
What if they did a "Rogue One" and showed us tons of stuff that won't even be in the episodes. Maybe a space battle between the Discovery and TOS Enterprise. That will get people intrested!

Are you familiar with these fanatically-hateful Roddenberry quotes?

Perhaps this will answer your question.
While I've no doubt that you find them offensive, none of those quotes is fanatically-hateful.

Although the view that religion is "a substitute for a malfunctioning brain" is extreme, it isn't hateful. On the contrary, it's an attempt at explanatory wisdom, probably well-meaning but also unfortunately one coming more from a place of arrogance than from a place backed by evidence.

"Ignore them and maybe they will ignore you" is pretty much "live and let live," which isn't really hateful either.

Being called an idiot isn't hate.
I think it proably depends on context. Talking about people in general as oposed to talking about a specific person. It's something both conservatives and liberals tend to do.
I think the bigger deal is whether or not this behavior is good manners. It's one thing when you insult a group to your friends and another if you are using insults to try and make people angry because you don't like them.

In this case it's Roddenberry criticizing and sometimes mocking a concept called God and a generalized group of people. It's insulting, but not hateful. Especially not his mocking of God.
