Subject: Religion in Season 7 eps

I don't want this to come out wrong, because I consider myself to be a religious person and I respect the relgious beliefs of others even when they're not exactly the same as mine. But. . .does anybody else feel they're overdoing the issue a bit this season?
In the past three weeks we've had two episodes that centered around religious beliefs ("Orison" and "Signs and Wonders"). There was also a lot of religious imagery (IMHO, anyway) in both "The Sixth Extinction" and "Amor Fati". One of the things I've always enjoyed about "XF" is that it examines religion seriously and has had an entire storyline devoted to one of the two main characters returning to the faith she was raised in. However, I don't want to see this side of their personalities examined in every single episode.
What does everybody else thing about this?
