The what?

It's pretty clear the Cylons are a tad fascistic ~ and are very involved in only one god who is actually a gigantic robot coordinating machine.

Sounds like the Islamofascists to me.

The Colonials are undoubtedly into a God with at least three natures, and they refer to Them as "gods".

Except for the fact Jesus spent his time on Earth, these folks could be Christian ~ they simply need enlightenment.

Yep - When you hear the Cylons talking about rounding up people off the street and executing them at random to instill fear into them, and using fear to convert them to their god, the first thing that popped into my head was Islam.

Christians generally don't convert others at the tip of a sword these days - it's been centuries since that kind of stuff happened on a large scale.

Islamics on the other hand...

The truth is, the humans resisting in the show have things in common with humans throughout history, whether it was the Dutch resisting the Nazis or this or that tribe resisting the Romans (and plenty in both examples went on missions that were all but suicide in name) or whoever. The fact is, they have always tried to keep a contemporary feel to the show, and if people get their panties in a bunch that they are using modern events and terminology in a fictional setting, so be it.

In a way, if anything IMO, I felt that when Admiral Adama was addressing his son, telling him he had grown weak and soft, mentally and physically, when he should have been preparing, I felt like if there was any kind of commentary on the United States, that was it. The Cyclons definitely do not come across as Americans. If anything, if people see the Cylons as Americans, then we've lost our way. We don't round up people in the streets at random, we don't instill our religious beliefs using fear.
