Star Trek: Enterprise = Unitarianism A complete reinterpretation of several of the previous ones before it and boiled down to vanilla Obviously, you didn't watch much past Season 1.

Firefly- Anglican. You can see something familiar in it that reminds you of some of the others but mostly people drink a lot. :->

Pssst.... They’re just TV shows.
Your idea is pretty cute, though.

I guess that would make “Babylon 5” Taoism, a lot of that yin/yang, light/dark references in the Vorlon/Shadow conflict.

Fun Post!
Now here is something I cooked up using a STRONGS Concordance with the Superman Story:
Krypton (gr) The Secret Place
Jor-El (Heb) Archer of G-d
Kal-El (heb) Son of G-d, or Man of G-d
Lois (Fr) Warrior
Smallville (can anything good come from Nazareth?)
Metropolis(gr)The Great City (Jerusalem?)
(The Narrative:)
Jor-El sends His Son Kal-El to Earth, from The Secret Place of the Most High (Krypton) where he is raised in a Small Insignificant Town. Kal-El takes on a Human Name and goes to the Big City to work towards a better world. For some reason, all of his friends and enemies have the initials L-L (El is the Hebrew word for G-d). His biggest enemy is Lex Luthor. (Lex is Latin for “Law” and “Luthor might be a reference to Martin Luther and the reformation.)
Funny thing is that the character of “Superman” was created by a Jewish Artist, based upon Nietzsche’s “Man and Superman” which also inspired Hitler.
This is a fun game! :-)
Back in the 19th Century, several people liked to play it and now we have a whole BUNCH of new religions! LOLOL!

Man and Superman is a play written by George Bernard Shaw.
Nietzsche’s sister Elizabeth was the one who created the Nietzsche/Nazi myth.
You can look both of those facts up.

The Battlestar Galactica series of the 2000’s would be that Japanese doomsday cult that tried killing everyone in the Tokyo subways.

I’d say Star Wars is Taoism. You’ve got the ancestor reverence with the ghosts of Jedis past following you around, the whole yin-yang duality of the light and dark sides of the force, and the Jedi powers are like Chi energy manipulation.
