Different religions see the future differently. Many religions see the future from an Extinctionist point of view where the world is destroyed either by humanity itself or by and angry deity. The Church of Reality is a Futurist religion and our goal is the Star Trek Future.
The television series Star Trek which we call the Holy TV Show, created by Gene Roddenberry in the 1960s, is a fictional depiction of the future of humanity where humans have developed space craft that can travel faster than the speed of light to go out and explore the universe. In this future humanity has evolved beyond war and poverty, cured diseases, and we are all Explorers on a quest for knowledge.
Although in the real future we are not likely to break the speed of light barrier and find planets full of humanoid life, sexy green skinned women, all who speak perfect English, and form a Federation of Planets, the series makes many important points about a new view of the future that we in the Church of Reality aspire to create.
We see a future that when we look back at history from their point of view that we are proud of what humanity has accomplished and have a continued sense that we are on the right track. That we have become explorers, to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no one has gone before. It is this vision that fires the souls of Realists and we as a culture are committed to making the Star Trek Future actually happen.
