I get that the book is often viewed as overly optimistic and is generally a 'everything goes well if you keep dreaming and continue towards your dream' kinda book. Personally for me, it gives the kind of fleeting hope a book/movie of this genre provides from it's grandiosity or sensationalism of certain ideas it mainly focuses on.
so my qn is basically this, does the constant mention of god/soul of god etc get in the way of the feel-good vibe of the book to my fellow atheist readers out there? Ofc you may still be able to enjoy reading it but are you fully able to feel (even if only momentously) the optimistic side of life the book tries to convey while being so heavily reliant on the themes of god?
(not talking abt faith btw cause if the author focused more on faith and less on god then i think it would be easier to feel the 'never give up on dreams' idea a bit stronger cause faith can atleast be interpreted as faith in yourself/your passion/hardwork etc etc. but here it's instead a firm focus on 'forces' outside your control ie god/universe)
