Star Trek and Sacred Ground

Reviews the popular 1960’s Star Trek television series and the guiding values behind the show.

This is a review of Star Trek and Sacred Ground. The Star Trek series and films are marked by an evolutionary process whereby by religion as irrational and mere superstition is displaced by religion with meaning and possible value. Above all, the portrayal of religion reflects Roddenberry’s “guiding values: a love of humanity and an optimism concerning the human prospect”.
