One of the enduring problems I have with Dune - not the movies, not the first book, but the entire series of books penned by Herbert and his successors - is how central the three dominant Abrahamic faiths figure into the storylines. More than 20,000 years from now.
I think it was fundamentally unimaginative of Frank Herbert, but then again this is the guy who gave us a Macguffin of divination through psychedelic worm poop.
