Comparing Religion to Fairy Tales and Myths Equal Atheism

It would be the same as Superman destroying Metropolis, then saying he was a good guy, why would anyone believe it?

I couldn't agree with you more. Which is actually why I have a problem with a number of other (but non-religious) characters in fantasy literature.

I very much admire Superman, and other comic book originated superheros, by the way. Especially as we are never inclined to believe they exist or ever did.

Dark Matter is an awesome filmmaker in his own right! He conveys these things artistically with wit, humor, and logic. I've always admired him.
