Sorry, I’ve only just realised… Are you saying the Daleks are

You know; Davros is like the Pope, the supreme leader. So the
Daleks follow the true religion, as preached by their pontiff.
Whilst the Thals are the prods, rejecting the true word and
thinking their way is the right way.

 Yep, and the Daleks go around trying to exterminate  anyone that doesn't follow their own blinkered belief, just like the so-called Christians did in the Middle Ages. (Not that any of the other nonsense religions are any more forgiving either.)

You mean... Christianity has different versions? How weird. I
mean, you either believe in Jewsus or you don't. What
differences could there possibly be?

 It depends on how you define the groupings.
 There are 7 or 12 major branches of "Christianity", but there are an estimated 45,000 (yes, forty-five thousand) 'Christian' beliefs around the world, each with their own difference slant on what is "true". There are around 200 different versions in the USA.
 There are also seven different major branches of Islam, and again can be sub-dived to at least 73 different versions.
 There are three or four major branches of Judaism, which can be sub-divided into about 27 different versions.
 Of course Islam, Judaism and Christianity are themselves all just different branches of the same nonsense religious belief.
 

Gee Whiz!! Religion being discussed in a "Doctor Who" newsgroup ..... Binky must be having conniptions .... which I cannot see cause I've still got him Kill-Filed!! ;-P Ah!! Bliss!
