Actually, that's one of the reasons I like the show so much. It played a major role in reintroducing religion to science fiction. Until BG, all major SF characters were either agnostic or atheist, since no person with religious faith could be considered intelligent. BG helped to change that and make religion respectable again.
Also, as a side note, the religious background of BG was obviously indebted to Mormonism, and clearly some of the major players/writers were either Mormon or knew a lot about the Mormon faith. Even though I am Presbyterian, I felt that the acceptance of faith was a move in the right direction.
