Sounds like a mormon academy to me Pad. It's amusing to see how easily that sort of mythos is made. We know about planets, certainly they would all have jesuses (jesus', jesi). Isn't a huge leap considering the starting point is it..lol.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Of course there was no "jesus" prior to the invention of the letter "j" c 1520.
Before that...maybe they called him "Hey You!"

I also think part of it is to prepare themselves to shoehorn the bible into new circumstances such as alien life.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

The first Klingons Kirk met were kind of Greek and beardy looking.
An explanation given is they were on on the outskirts of empire and going native, diluting their genes.
I think Jesus would die for the beardy Greek looking Klingons 'cause although not blond and blue eyed, they're still kinda in his image.
Those Worf type Klingons, he wouldn't die for them, he'd want 'em dead.
