Lots of people do, in fact, give a special status to Star Trek and Star Wars. Not quite the same kind of special status that people try to give to [insert religious book here], but it seems to go beyond normal fandom. For example, people declaring their religion as "Jedi" on census forms.
This is not surprising. Religion is a special case of fandom, not the other way around.
I have a post on this somewhere in the depths of my entry-bunnies, but no idea when I'll post it.
