I'm not a fan, I just like the series.
But to say Roddenberry was just a story teller leaves out all the controversial themes he introduced to his series. He could have told the story without them and would have been, probably, more successful. The original Star Trek wasn't that big of a success when it first aired in the second half of the 60ies.
It's not religion. But it sure shined a light on one of the braver producers and idea givers of the time.
