As a literature of change driven by technology, science fiction presents religion to a part of the reading public that probably seldom goes to church.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm pretty catholic about what constitutes science fiction.
We are in a tech-heavy society, plunging headlong into an unknown future. Science fiction is what allows you to stand back and analyze the impact of that and put it in context of how it affects people.
It's not a faith in technology. It's faith in people.

Religion asks you to believe things without questioning, and technology and science always encourage you to ask hard questions and why it is important in science and technology. So I was always interested in science and technology.
Religion is to mysticism what popularization is to science.
If science fiction is the mythology of modern technology, then its myth is tragic.
Science fiction is an extension of science.
Science fiction is becoming more of a diverse kind of genre.
