By that, I mean the entire plot about gods and prophets. Too many cases of *Deus ex machina* pop up in this series. Star Trek has always been about humans evolving beyond the severe limitations of religious belief. TOS dealt with this often: the Apollo they meet on their voyage was a member of an alien race that once visited Earth and helped kickstart civilization. The Metrons and Organians, who had evolved beyond the need for corporeal existence and existed as pure mind energy. TOS recognized them as evolved alien races that may have appeared to have been gods, but were just more advanced.
DS9 turns it all on its head. Prophets and gods return with their deity to the fore, the Bejorans are obsessed with these supernaturals who exercise power over them. Miracles happen, like when the Dominion forces are destroyed in the wormhole when facing down a lone starship.
Yeah, it's the big flaw in this "spiritual" series.
