Do Androids Venerate Electric Saints..?

Star Trek TNG: 'Measure of a Man' extended scene: Data and Riker

A Saint is a Human Being, that we celebrate for the Sacrifices that they make — 

For The Commitment that they undertake to making The World a Better Place.

DATA: 
Sir, there is a celebration on the Holodeck.

RIKER: 
I have no right to be there.

DATA: 
Because you failed in your task?

RIKER: 
No, God, no. 
I came that close to winning, Data.

DATA: 
Yes, sir.

RIKER: 
I almost cost you your life!

DATA: 
Is it not true that had you refused to prosecute, Captain Louvois would have ruled summarily against me?

RIKER: 
Yes.

DATA: 
That action injured you, and saved me. 
I will not forget it.

RIKER: 
You're a wise man, my friend.

DATA: 
Not yet, sir. 
But with your help, I am learning.
