Re: A character type for a Star Trek game
They did have anthropologists in ST:tNG that were respected. Although Kirk did show some prejudice against anthropologists and scholars of the humanities, though there seems to be evidence that he got over that bigotry by the end of the third season.

Re: A character type for a Star Trek game
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.

Re: A character type for a Star Trek game
One suspects the jock vs nerd rivalry keeps going and certainly enters military or paramilitary organizations where it becomes frontliners vs techies or analysts.
