Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Is Not Starfleet

Right, except that the established ethos is that religions are not really all that compatible with the federation vision of the future and almost always lead to people doing horrible irrational shit.
You're talking about the values implicit to ST; those are my values, but if we're people with values from an ideal future just talking about what should be on TV to hopefully get us home someday, I don't think I'm wrong to suggest that "deradicalising content aimed at Christians" is appropriate. That's all.
Making Christians think that their insane hate-fueled bullshit is compatible with a idealized image of the future is the opposite of "deradicalising," it is legitimizing.
That is like suggesting that we should portray some "good" examples of racism and bigotry, you know, so that racists and bigots will feel included.
Your feelings are valid, and I think we share the same goals. I wish there was a clearer path to achieve them. I'm only thinking out loud here, I hope that's clear.
