I think it's more about showing the extremes people will go to. That I can live with, since, obviously, a lot of people do terrible things in the name of religion (or in the name of anything else--I'm endlessly fascinated by the ways in which people use any excuse they can find to excuse their own selfishness--whether it's religion or nationalism or some tauted ideal).
Also, I think part of the reason I quit watching was that I didn't like Sister Clarice and I couldn't figure out if the show wanted me to like her or not. Which made for some dissonance.
In fact, the thing that really made me like Joseph Adama is that he finally just says fuck it, and reclaims his Tauron name and starts to become proud of his heritage. This would make me like it a lot. And I'm always up for a race discussion.
I've heard some interesting things about Tamara that made me think she could be my entry point.
