I watched the whole series up to the bitter end. It was still Star Trek, but they included some concepts that left a bad taste in my mouth. Religion, being the one.
They tried really hard to sell the ending as something for-religion as opposed to it being about aliens. Maybe just my interpretation but that ruined it for me. I won’t say only DS9 did this because the original show also acknowledged “god” but I attributed that to at least for being in its time. DS9 had no excuse and should not have entertained it.
Did you watch beyond the first season?

Ah, the Bejorans and their prophets, but that was more just wormhole aliens and not omnipotent gods.

Interesting, I don’t think I ever saw it as anything other than some weird immortal aliens in non corporal form.
