Star Trek: Deep Space 9 was heavily influenced by religion. The one of the major religions was; The Bajoran profets (sometimes called Wormhole Aliens), who existed in the celestial temple (normally called the Wormhole). Their purpose was to protect the Bajorans, and fight the evil spirits called Pah-wraiths. In the dominion the founders (shape-shifters) were believed to be (and treated as) gods. For klingons there was Sto-vo-kor (what they called heaven). Klingons coming to Sto-vo-kor meant that they had fought as honorable warriors in their life. The Ferangi had a religion in The Great River, which was similar to "[[The invisible hand]]" a phrase coined by [[Adam Smith]].

== The Prime Directive ==
Starfleet had The Prime Directive which said that they should not interfere with the natural progression of a species. It was a conservative idea but it was often ignored by Starfleet officers for moral reasons. There was also a Temporal Prime Directive which said that when going into the past (by various means) they should not try to alter the course of history. When someone from Starfleet (or not from starfleet) violated the directive officers were justified in working to stop, them as long as they did not violate the dircetive themselves.
