The odd thing is that JMS is an athiest..
He "gets it," though. The inclusion of religion and belief gave B5's characters a richness Star Trek never had. G'Kar and Londo Molari are classic examples.
We borrowed the collection from a fellow B5 fan that works with my husband. Our son is seeing these for the first time and just loves them.
"Two little fishes, swimming in the sea,
"Two little fishes, just Londo and me."
- G'Kar's song from the "elevator" scene (a HUGE personal fav!)
Do you have a SF ping list? If so, please add me.
