"As a person who don't believe in aliens should I see the movie Alien?"

"As a person who don't believe in The Force, would I enjoy Star Wars??"

C'mon, man.

I don't believe I'm a battery but I loved The Matrix!

FYI I'm an atheist too and LOVED Constantine.

WTF kind of Atheist are you? they try to put Jesus references in everything from the matrix to superman but your scared of religion being pushed down your throat in a movie about a demon hunter? grow the f#@k up or just avoid pop culture and life and make a life in the middle of nowhere.



















like *beep* I'm a atheist and I'm a compete pussy to any religious references so I'm gonna check first on imdb like a f@g who acts like he can't eat gluten but doesn't even know what gluten is but still asks "does this have gluten?" every time he orders anything.

The movie's purpose is not to proselytise.
To me God is just a fantasy like vampires, dragons and aliens. And I like vampires, dragons and alien movies.

Contrary to IMDb ratings and the meta I like that movie a lot. Nice fantasy.

Regardless of if you believe in the subject matter or not does not determine if you can enjoy its entertainment value. If that were true then anyone who doesn’t believe in superheroes would not enjoy any superheroe movies, or believe in supernatural beings for horror movies with antagonists like Nightmare On Elm Street/Child’ Play/It/any movie involving aliens, or believing in dragons and an undead race for Game of Thrones, and so on. But to answer you’re direct question, despite being 3 years old (people do look through old posts and read the conversations), no, you do not have to be religious in any regard to enjoy this movie. It’s not accurate to what is taught in Christianity, more like inspired by and draws ideas from the religions. But if you know about Christianity then it may help you understand where a lot of the significance of some items and rituals come from (Ex. What holy water is, sins and their forgiveness, heaven and hell, and some of the holy artifacts they use.) but most of that is briefly explained during the movie anyway. This is not a Christian movie, and does not require the viewer to be religious in any way to have fun watching the it. It’s more of a fantasy/supernatural type movie. I’d roughly equate your question to “do I need to be Christian to enjoy watching The Exorcist,” or “do I need to believe in vampires to like the Blade movies.” So basically, watch the movie and see if you like it for its entertainment value, this movie in no way was meant to preach Christian beliefs.
