That's an exceptionally narrow view of religion. There are plenty of religions that don't threaten damnation for disbelief. They do what ST does and explain why humans exist (in this case because a simulation was set up such that they'd be created, intentionally or not).

And why can't ST be used to scam people from money, like religion is?

This has the flavor of a true scottsman.
