    Why must it?

    Also, why do you think atheism is an entire atheist’s identity and not just a small part of it? I’m an atheist. I’m also a Trekkie. I’d say Star Trek is a much bigger part of my life than atheism.

        I agree 100%. Star Trek helped teach me about diversity and equality and respect for other cultures. Also the concept of talking things out before guns start going off.
