I feel the "God has a plan for you" thing just a way to appeal to some things that a lot of Americans hear during their youth, a way to catch people's attention. I think the point of the show was really to bring us to think about some things that are going really wrong and to bring us to ask ourselves where we could be headed to. Haven't you noticed how all our landmarks have been mixed and then dispatched in a way that you cannot fully identify to the human race and in the mean time cylons have the same motivations and arguments as some we have heard over the years? I think this was the real point of the show. "God has a plan for you" is just a commercial catch to me just like Tricia Helfer in her red dress (come on, don't tell me you don't like this vision and you would not become all religious if angels were in her image).
