Maybe I didn't read far enough, didn't think a book about souls could be atheist.

- DanBC 10y agoThe book includes religion. That's what world building is. That doesn't mean it's pro religion, anymore than it's pro armour-clad polar bears. In the books the church is pretty oppressive.
- facepalm 10y agoBut it's different things to include religion, which is just stuff people believe, and actual souls. Religion is just a belief. Churches are just companies. But I admit, in that sense any fantasy novel containing magic might be "religious" in some sense. The soul thing just seemed rather Christian to me. I am an atheist and not that well versed in Christianity, though.
