Absolutely beautiful. I too though of Caprica, with the Cylons being the adopters of the monotheistic religion.
BTW, here is a trick taken from the movie industry about avoiding overexposure from the windows:
On a movie set, if the window is visible in the frame, the crew often covers the window with a slightly dark transparent film. This film is called a "Neutral Density" ND film and it act like applying a gigantic set of sunglasses to the windows. It comes in different gradation or it can be doubled.
The cinematographer then lights the interior with additional lights, like large softboxes or other sources that complement the light from the window.
This technique is used very, very often. If you see a scene in any Hollywood production with windows perfectly exposed then you can count on them being covered with ND films.
The result is great lighting with the subjects well visible and the windows perfectly exposed. With Reality you can do the same. Place a pane of glass outsite the window and set the transmission to medium grey (127,127,127).
Cheers.
