Anthropology is respected in Trek. Actual belief in the divinity of extremely powerful beings? Not so much - even the Prophets in DS9, who arguably demonstrated a form of divinity for the people of Bajor (to the point of sending them an Emissary, even), are regarded by the Federation as Sufficiently Advanced Aliens, and Bajorans professing their beliefs seen as misguided at best.
