Natural_motions answered your question perfectly, and didn't bring nationality or religeon into it at all - you did that. I wouldn't have known they were evil if you hadn't brought it up.
My fav movie! The perfect blend of sci-fi, action, comedy, and fashion model catwalk.

On behalf of all Australians, I'd like to apologise to the world for Ken Ham.
I came here to make this comment. The Edenists, a genetic fork of humanity, have created sentient machines through biotech. Some of the large space habitats are grown with a layer of neural cells a metre thick - in a cylinder shell that may be 30km long, totalling cubic kilometers of brain matter. Super-intelligent space buildings.
- Six books in the trilogy, if you include And Another Thing by Eoin Colfer (of Atemis Fowl fame)
There are some great suggestions here - I'm also adding to my reading list!
I almost exclusively read sci-fi, and my favourite author is Peter F. Hamilton. He has written some mind-bendingly good space opera, much of it spanning multiple novels.
His best work IMHO is a one-shot, standalone novel called Fallen Dragon. It's got rampant uber-captialism, space marines, geurilla warfare on colony worlds, and aliens. And a very satisfying conclusion that I didn't see coming.
Alita: Battle Angel. I've heard there is a sequel planned, but it's been a few years since the first movie. James Cameron is still involved as a producer, but I guess his blue-skinned money machine has kept him busy lately.
And a towel.
