Washington Post/Style, Washington, DC, Stephen Hunter,

"From the outside, all faith seems ridiculous. Consider five of the world's major religious: One worships someone who was executed as a troublemaker, another reveres a roly-poly wise man sitting cross-legged, still another has in its pantheon a multi-armed goddess, another received holy texts from a desert prophet, and the last venerates a pleasant-looking Canadian in a Mr. Hairweave toupee who zips about a paper-mache universe in a craft that looks like a pancake with two flashlights attached. The last creed--the religion of 'Star Trek'--is the object of study in 'Trekkies,' a highly amusing documentary that opens today. The film is by far a more holy relic than either 'Joan of Arc' or 'Star Wars.'"
