The Sparrow is a novel by Mary Doria Russell about the sole survivor of a Jesuit mission to an alien world.
I warn you, this book got under my skin and really bothered me.
As far as logovores and ideals or religions. I'm married to the ideas of homofidelic and mythopoeic logovores. I decided that there would at least be those two categories even before we had the names Emergence and Logovores. And if a homofidelic logovore nation believes that it is an extra solar colonial extension of the Indian government, then religion will come into it. And the creed of mythopoeic logovores is that as evolutions of human thoughts, it is their duty to depict the highest hopes and dreams of humanity by embodying their myths and religious icons and taking these ideas into the future as valid models of behavior and existence.
I'm not so married to Theotechnic logovores. We could change it to Hero Builders. Hmm, I don't know how to say hero in Greek. Abraham Lincoln would definitely be worth trying to recreate.
You should read The Sparrow
