Nora was killed when the Centurions opened fire at the temple. . . this is WHY Duck joined the NCP -- to get intelligence that would help him revenge Nora's death. . . and also why he was willing to do the suicide bomber thing.
Saffron: You won't tell anyone about me breaking down? Mal: I won't. Saffron: Then I won't tell anyone how easily I got your gun out of your holster. Mal: I'll take that as a kindness.

Nora was killed in the webisodes during a Cylon attack on the temple (where Le Resistance [tm South Park] was storing weapons under the altar). Duck joined the police as a double agent as a result of her death.
ETA: Which sumi just told y'all with her swift posting fingers.

Wait, so there's a temple in the webisodes? That's one of the things I bitched about not seeing in the episode: actual evidence of religion, not just talking about it.

It's a tent being used as a Temple.
They also had a baptism/naming ceremony for Galen and Cally's baby.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Duck prayed before he went on his mission, P-C, and lit candles.

Oh, point. My complaint is really about not seeing the Cylon religion, when they make a big point about doing this in the name of God.

Well, Leoban and Six seem to be the only Cylons that believe actively.

Maybe their belief in their God is expressed through actions and not worship.

Also, presumably, Cavil.
And D'Anna thinks God loves her.
Basically, I got the impression that conversion was part of their mission from God, but maybe I'm mistaken and all God wants them to do is subjugate humanity, who can go on and believe whatever they want to as long as they...I have no idea what the Cylons are doing anymore. And this sense was heightened by the scene in which even the Cylons had no idea what they were doing.

When the NCP told the prisoners to get out of the trucks and "stretch their legs," did anyone else think The Great Escape, especially after that little chat between Laura and Zarek (reminded me of the conversation between Big X and his Scots friend before they were mowed down in GE). The quarry-like environment had me thinking Babi Yar. Lots of WWII-era references in this ep.
