   There has always been a Religous theme in Battlestar Galactica.  In the classic   
   version those of us who are members of the LDS Church picked up on it right   
   away.  The Government, the 12 Colonies... (Our Quorum of Twelve) and the   
   "Kobol" reference (the star that they beleive heaven is at).   
      
   The New series almost seemed to be a "Pagan" vs "Christian monotheist" religous   
   culture.   
      
   Either way, the themes were there and to me it seemed intriquing that the   
   machines had a "God".
