Not many people take me seriously, but I am being dead serious that nobody should be shocked one bit, if in the future we see things like Star Trek, Star Wars or Harry Potter get turned into religions. All it would take is a nut who turns a mere fiction fan club to convince just enough people the writers were right and the characters were prophets.
You already have attempts of that with Jediism. This is how religion starts, it takes old myths and legends and takes claims of bullshit utopias and fantastic claims and sells them as a moral guide. Never underestimate our species ability to be delusional, or cons or both.
