- the Bajoran faith (the central Prophets are real although the true complexities of the faith have much more to do with the interpretations of prophecy than this particular fact)
- whatever the hell Chakotay has going on (can magically speak to his dead ancestors because he's Fake Native)
- he/him

in reply to @nex3's post:
- whatever the Vulkans have going on, considering their space magic works (reincarnation, long-distance soul communication, mind-melds, etc.)
afaik Vulcans consider that scientific rather than mystical, so it's not really different than Betazoid telepathy or whatever
Ah that’s fair. I think the talk around katras/souls reads fundamentally religious to me, but it is a studyable scientific phenomenon in the show
we did get a look at an early vulcan-like civilization in TNG who were just shedding religion, so it might be vestiges from a bygone era, reinterpreted through being legit psychic
What about Who Mourns For Adonay? Also, wasn't there an episode with the actual Devil?
Yeah, there was a TAS episode where Lucifer turned out to be an alien who travelled to (and then fled from) Earth. A bunch of his people were executed during the Salem witch trials and his species was quite upset about it.
The devil thing was just a grifter. And she would've gotten away with it if it weren't for those lousy kids, er, Starfleet officers.
Missing: the people of the sex planet who try to execute Wesley in TNG S1.
