Just because some atheists like it,doesn't mean that we religious people can't. I have other friends who love "Star Trek" too. Many of us grew up watching the programme and we don't care if others like it too! Even my dogs-3 Border Collies-watch it when they can and I introduced a friend's 8 year old son to the Blooper Reel,one of many things I enjoyed watching at the conventions when I was younger.

Every second episode was about how robots overheat when they encounter paradoxes in logic. Star Trek was all about the goodness of humanity overcoming the cold, unfeeling roboticized world.

Yeah, Jews and Christians recognize those ten specific rules a part of their religion, but a lot of that stuff is pretty universal no matter what religion (or lack of religion) people follow.
