To take an idea and extend the trend it represents to its ultimate conclusion regardless of how comfortable it makes us.

To me, it sounds as if the OP wants some stories of substance with ray-guns and spaceships, but no Amazon women wearing armored Lingerie.

I consider myself a Christian and a conservative so I think I understand how hard it is to remain true to your faith and beliefs in this culture. But I think the OP is asking for the impossible. Ultimately, all beliefs must be tested repeatedly. And Science Fiction is good for that.
I'm looking for suggestions, not an analysis of my "premise." Many fine suggestions have been given.. Thanks to those who did.
