Below I'm posting a message I found on the Trekbbs.com site that poists both the reason for WW3 and the seeming lack of/negative attitude towards religion by humans in Trekverse. Makes sense, but the war could have been over other issues as well.-MEJ

I'm starting to think that one of the reasons that there is no religion on Earth is that WWIII might have been a religious war. Possibly the two factions were the USA/European Hegemony vs the Eastern Coalition. Fundamentalist chrisitians might have finally seized power in the west and nuclear armed Muslim Fundamentalists ban to gether to form the Eastern Coalition.
The horrors of a religiouly based nuclear holocaust might be just what it takes to put an end to religious belief on Earth. It seems like a plausible view of the 24th C attitude toward religion.
