“Lieutenant,” Connor starts. Hank shoots him a glare, sparing Connor of the usual “for fuck’s sake, you don’t need to call me that when we’re not working” speech as he chews. “Do you believe in God?” “Are you high?” Hank retorts. Connor pushes on. “Do you?” Hank chews some more, swallows and looks down at the burger in his hands. “Not anymore, really.” ~~~ Connor tries to understand rA9 by asking other humans and androids. It's a little more complicated than he expects.

I am not religious, I've never been religious, but I am familiar with the Christian/Catholic faith, which is the primary faith referenced here. But because Markus encounters an anti-android activist preaching on the street, and because there are direct parallels between rA9 and Christ, I wondered what would happen if Connor also pursued this question. I'm not saying all religion is bad or anything but I do think it plays a large role, specifically in Western society, and I wanted to examine that role through Connor's eyes. Happy reading!
