The one thing that cannot be said about SF’s attitude to religion is that it is pious – SF is a fundamentally irreverent literary form which is never really happy with certainty or solemnity. It is perhaps for that reason that some American fundamentalists put it on the list of forbidden genres along with books about witchcraft and wizards. SF is not hostile, essentially, to religion, but it is not comfortable with closed minds.
