Agree completely. I think those of us who've grown up in a western/Christian culture don't realise that there are plenty of religions that don't have God or (Egyptian/Roman/Norse as per SG-1 canon) gods at the centre of their "worship".
What I hate is that SGA had this opportunity to explore ancestor veneration, a rich non-"god" religion/way of life, and all we get are prayers around the dinner table that could be from any household in America minus the word "Ancestor". (Not that I don't still cling to whatever scraps of Pegasus culture we get, but oh, I mourn the lost storytelling opportunities.)
