Attack of the Theocrats!
Funny that the Christian criticises "stranger in a strange land" for it's depiction of sexual liberation, rather than its depiction of looney populist religion. Not surprising though.
My favorite SF depiction of religion is Frank Herbert's "Dune" - religion is portrayed as ultimately a political tool and theocracy as oppressive, murderous and self-destructive.
