Hey Phraktal remember this debate came up one time in the last season of Star Trek: TNG. It was the Kahless episode. Worf was trying to seek his spirituality while meditating. Then Kahless appeared who was the first warrior leader of the Klingon Empire. later to fing out he was a genetic clone. There was a big debate between religous leaders and Gowron on accepting Kahless. The Worf said "Power Comes fron the Heart." if your cause is rightous you will have those to honor you and follow you.
