oh yes, there's certainly already been some movement toward acceptance on both sides, as slow and small as it is. And I think actually that Lee will be one of them. As much as I dislike him, he will stick to a principle once he has one, so I imagine that once he gets his eyes opened he'll be a supporter.(getting that mind to open up may take awhile, though)
The religion thing is interesting. The part about the Cylons knowing more about the Colonial religion than the colonials do in particular. For a 'race' that's only existed for fifty-odd years and has its own religiion, the Cylons have an unuusal interest. As well as a source. It could be a simple matter of synthesis -- they learned everything, all the scriptures, all the theory etc, which no human could do. Or they had some assistance from one of the Kobol Lords which seems more likely to me.
Time-travel's involved here someplace, I bet. Self-fulfilling prophecies often equal time travel in sci-fi, and I'm thinking that's going to end up as one of the answers.
