Of course, if sci-fi is drawing on the ‘War on Terror’, it’s still really drawing on religion—however much we try to avert our eyes from the fact by using euphemisms like ‘the War on Terror’, the war between the West and Islam is a religious war.As is the human-Cylon war on BSG, which draws very much from current events.

But BSG absolutely ended on a religious note, with Caprica Six’s and Baltar’s visions being revealed as angels.
