It's not a religion, but Star Trek still had a message. These movies, in comparison, are just entertainment, as you put it. You can't recognize this is something that's been lost?

If JJ-Trek had been made in 1966, we wouldn't still be talking about it 50 years later.

[Edit]

Watch the interview with Nichelle Nichols where she discusses her meeting with Martin Luther King, when he told her what she was doing was too important for her to quit her role. Watch the interview with Jimmy Doohan where he mentions talking to a suicidal kid who later became an engineer because of him. Watch any of the rest of the cast who have been told by actual NASA scientists, engineers and astronauts they took these jobs because of what they saw on Star Trek.

Then tell me again you're okay with Star Trek being watered down mindless entertainment nowadays.
