REL 375 - Religion and Science Fiction

Credit Hours: 3
Where do we come from? Where are we going? What does it mean to be human? What is reality? While religions typically provide answers to these fundamental questions in our lives, science fiction has also probed them in creative and radical ways. This course will explore the various relationships between religion and science fiction as they have appeared in movies, books, and actual cults (such as Scientology and the Raelians) from the so-called “Golden Age” of sci-fi to the present day.
