List of religious ideas in science fiction

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have always loved science fiction. My passion for the ancient world and science fiction always seem to converge and I am very interested in how aspects of the ancient world, primarily Greco-Roman religion, have influenced science fiction.

Evaluate the article
Lead section:


 * The introductory sentence of the article is quite short but it does an okay job of describing how religion is used in science fiction.
 * The lead paragraph unfortunately is not very precise. It throws multiple ideas regarding science fiction and religion together without really defining them. If readers were not familiar with works by authors of science fiction like Octavia Butler, then there could definitely be some confusion after reading the first paragraph.

Content:


 * Overall I'd say there is a good amount of content readers can access in the article.
 * The way the content is arranged leaves a lot to be desired. It is sort of a mashup of religious ideas and how religion appears in various science fiction media.
 * The content is pretty up to date. Its a few years off and could have some newer science fiction content.
 * There seems to be little context regarding how religion is deployed in science fiction.

Tone and Balance:


 * I'd say this article is very balanced. That also might hinder it. There does not seem to be any larger ideas about specific aspects of religion and how it is used as a theme or plot device.
