Ever since the middle of the first season, I have thought much about how this show could be used in my classes; especially my Bible Intro classes. The story of a radically monotheistic race of beings, who desperately seeks to irradicate its polytheistic "masters". The dichotomy between the Cylons highly experiential religion, and their fervent messianism against the Colonies somewhat nominal adherence to the "Scriptures" is also very interesting. So is alot of the apocalyptic imagery and allusion:

The original 1970s BSG was written by a Mormon who incorporated much of his religion's mythology into the story.
