Should Star Trek be granted the status of religion if requested?

There are certainly equivalent attributes.
There is a Prophet, Gene Roddenberry.
There are ‘holy’ texts/gospels, in the form of the various Star Trek series and movies, and if you want, the countless books.
There are moral teachings derived from those stories.
There are religious figures in the form of the various characters in those stories.
There are certain rituals, like dressing up in costumes, acting like the characters, and the various salutes (“Live long and prosper”, “Qapla”)
There are even religious symbols like the Starfleet communicator, the Federation logo, or the emblem of the Klingon Empire.
All these things surely qualify Star Trek to be seen as a religion.

On the other hand:

Do you think that the value of Star Trek would be diminished by becoming/being seen as a religion?
