Absolutely. I love the fact that Jud never really questions his faith and Blanc never questions his nonbelief; what they’re talking about is how to live in a way that’s true to what your purpose is, whether that’s God or not.

Every gender, every ethnicity, every belief or nonbelief...every life lived is such a beautiful thing. Now is the time for the aggressors to lay down arms, to join in the people they've oppressed, to forget their fear and doubt and experience the true love and light of peace and trust and acceptance

Confusing material beliefs for intangible ones and trying to enforce belief or nonbelief on others gets people into all sorts of sticky messes tbh, it's antihuman in nature. It negates that we all have inner worlds.
