Reading assignment: Jindra, It’s about Faith in Our Future: Star Trek Fandom as Cultural Religion (pp. 159-171). ANALYSIS: Jindra argues that Star Trek fandom functions in at least some fans’ lives as a kind of religion. The logic of his argument could be spelled out like this: Religion does X. Star Trek fandom also does X. Therefore, Star Trek fandom is a form of religion. So now the crucial question is: What is X? In other words: What does Jindra say that religion does in people’s lives? And then how, according to Jindra, does Star Trek fandom do those same things? Your task: Compile a list of 4-5 different things that Jindra says religion does: functions it serves, needs it satisfies, effects it has on people’s lives, etc. For each of those 4-5 things, briefly describe how Star Trek fandom does that same thing, according to Jindra.
