** The [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Klingon belief system]] seems to be an odd mish-mash of Shinto and Norse mythology, with a MessianicArchetype figure (Kahless) and a quirk (they had gods, but killed them as too much of a bother) thrown in. Vulcan spirituality seems to have elements of Shinto ancestor worship within a predominant Buddhist philosophy, with 'logic' substituted for Dharma. The Bajoran faith which features prominently in nearly every episode of ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' combines elements of all three Western monotheisms (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) together with Eastern Hindu/Buddhist mysticism (with the bonus that their gods are definitely real and occasionally show up to chat with the heroes). Plus, they once had castes like Hinduism. And a Catholic style leadership (The Kai and the Vedak Assembly lining up with the Pope and the College of Cardinals respectively).
