Church of Trek
From The Infosphere, the Futurama Wiki
The Church of Trek was a full blown religion dedicated to Star Trek. It was at its height during the 23rd Century, wherein Star Trek fandom had grown in size and influence.
Its influence lead to the Star Trek wars, in which, several of Earth's nation fell victim to its influence, such as Germany being renamed "Nazi Planet Episode Land".
However, as a result of the wars, Star Trek was forever banned, including the Church of Trek.

[edit] Trivia
- While several spin-offs have been made to Star Trek, Futurama seems only to care about The Original Series.
- However other Star Trek spin-offs receives a mention, such as during the episode "I Dated a Robot" in which two trekkies on the internet are arguing which captain was better: Kirk or Picard. With one making comments about "Kirk kicking Picard's ass" whilst the other responds with "At least Picard had the guts to admit he was bald!" However other references don't appear until the fourth movie.
- A reference to TNG shows up in "Where No Fan Has Gone Before" when Fry takes Leonard Nimoy's head from the Head Museum, allowing the head of Jonathan Frakes to slide to the front of the display. Frakes played Commander Riker on TNG.
