“I’ve been monitoring their transmissions. They don’t worship the sun. They worship the Son. The Son of God.”

There is another episode ("Who Mourns for Adonais") in which Kirk says something like "We've found the one God to be quite sufficient."

Yes, they were much more respectful of religion in the 1960s.

Actually Kirk says "we have no need for gods." Knowing Rodenberry's secular humanism, I wouldn't be one bit surprised that the next sentence ("We find the One quite sufficient") was forced on the show by advertisers against his will because they didn't want to antagonize people. This is my theory, anyway, since the two statements are mutually exclusive.
