Every single person on Star Trek I think is an atheist. Outside of Worf anyway and maybe Riker. The thing is, nobody knows that... because atheism is kinda useless as a storytelling device. |
Ahh yes, Star Trek. Gene Roddenbury used the show to preach secular humanism. His universe doesn't have chaplains on board. They aren't religious. The show is about how reason and science can advance all intelligent life. Someone being an atheist doesn't say anything about them. It isn't an attribute that says something about someone.
