Symbolic daddy issues

Oof, and then the hero is the one non-religious person who is smarter and more logical than everyone else. Don't get me wrong, 'religion is corrupt' can definitely be a theme, as long as it's clear the context behind the community and emphasize what they are doing that is specifically immoral, as opposed to 'they are on the losing side simply because they believe in a higher power', which is just propaganda in my opinion.
