Oh, I hope I was clear enough in the post - I'm also anti-organized religion rather than anti-religion on an individual basis.
But what you're saying about the show is very encouraging! YAY! Sounds like what I was hoping for rather than what I feared.
As for the fanaticism, it IS only the Cylons that I was referring to (at least, at this point) -- and even then, not most of the Cylons, just the blond woman. Mostly, I think it's because she's so insistent about it with Baltar. Oh, it's the way she manipulates him, gets him to "admit" to some sort of belief or faith and then something happens to "prove" her faith true. I guess that's not fanaticism, per se, but it's what drives her.
What I'm really looking forward to seeing, more than anything else, is how these characters change. Because my impression is that they change quite a lot over the course of the show.
