If you like Dr Who, there's a series that is a commentary on religion,
priests etc.
"Planet of Fire" is on youtube, but it's split into a lot of 10 minute
chunks.
It's one of my favourites, and not just for Peri appearing out of the
sea like Venus, in a bikini.
The descendents of a crashed space ship are a tribe of humans, with a
leader but their priest/shaman is the real power, with a religion that
treats a space suit as its god. At the end he burns himself to death
saying to the doctor "you'll never understand".
