..Jesus was a fictional character..

As for Gene Roddenberry who invented Star Trek, he was an atheist but was still open-minded enough not to ban religious references from the show, so kudos to him..

Religion in Star Trek
An alien 'god' demands Kirk worships him but Kirk replies-"Mankind has no need of gods, we find the One quite adequate" (OST: 'Who Mourns for Adonais")

McCoy says 'Lord forgive me" when he kills an alien with a phaser blast that's taken the form of an attractive human woman. (OST: The Man Trap)
