Except too many people saw an Iraq parallel instead, which would make us the Cylons, with our One God and all.

People are going to see what they want to see, whether it's Mormonism, the scattering of the twelve tribes of Israel, Greek/Roman Gods, etc. If you wanted to, you could easily make the case that the Cylons represent radical Islam.

The fact is, and while they are basing the current story arc on Nazi Germany/Occupied and then Liberated France, a lot of the current themes could represent stories going back to Roman times. Don't get me wrong, I understand that many people these days don't know much about history, and so they try to place everything in the context of the last five or ten years.

I do find it amusing that the Cylons are now becoming very human-like and their society appears to be fragmenting.

I forgot to mention this, but my understanding is that the Cylon God was a figure on equal footing that rebelled against the other 12 Lords of Kobol. That doesn't exactly fit with Christianity or Islam either way. There is a lot more to this, especially where the hybrid baby fits in, but I think it would be spoilers for some, and will refrain.
