The Star Trek franchise has been loathe to tackle the issue of religion, but IDW's new series is confronting it in a totally new way.
Warning: contains spoilers for Star Trek #4!The Star Trek universe is changing forever, and it's all thanks to one question - a question the franchise has long been reluctant to tackle. In IDW Publishing’s new flagship Star Trek comic, Captain Benjamin Sisko and his crew have been on the trail of a mysterious god-killer, and in issue four, Sisko questions what it means to be a god.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The issue, written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly, drawn by Ramon Rosanas and Oleg Chudakov, colored by Lee Loughridge and lettered by Clayton Cowles, opens with Sisko struggling to connect with his son Jake. Sisko wants to ask Jake what he thinks makes a god, but hesitates, fearing his son will think such a question is “too esoteric.” Sisko almost asks out loud, but changes the subject instead.
Star Trek Seems to Accept Some Beings Are Gods The focus of IDW’s Star Trek title, launched last Fall, has been on a mysterious force systematically slaughtering the franchise’s god-like beings. The Bajoran Prophets send Benjamin Sisko back to the human plane of existence so that he might find who, or what, is behind the genocide; he is then given a new ship, the USS Theseus and a new crew composed of the best and brightest Starfleet has to offer.
Star Trek Has a New Attitude to Its Gods Most characters in the new series - from Sisko and Q to the god-killer themselves - explicitly accept that the most powerful beings in the universe can truthfully and accurately be called 'gods.
Gene Roddenberry intended for Star Trek to be a commentary on the human condition, of which religion is an integral part. Sisko asks “what makes a god,” because not only has he witnessed the murder of gods, but he has lived among them - both of which give him a unique perspective on the subject.

'Star Trek: Picard' Season 3 premiere is pure 'Next Generation' nostalgia, for better or worseFor an undeterred devotee of 'The Next Generation,' it's magnificent. For anyone after anything fresh, it's mediocre, and as such, this is going polarize opinion even more than the first two seasons.
