Interesting thoughts, Ardent - as to overt religious content, there's actually more in B5 than in Hobbit/LotR. There are monks and preachers coming to the space station, and members of the crew state their religious preferences. Religious beliefs as a valid part of daily life are shown quite respectfully, considering that the writer does not adhere to any himself.
