Putting your faith into something isn't always a bad move… especially when life is as bleak as it is in Pure. But "faith" and "religion" don't always need to go together, especially in this book.
Most of the characters don't believe in any kind of God or higher power, yet they're still spiritual in their own ways. In many cases, the characters' spirituality is their driving force. They believe in a better world, or in the possibility for change… and many of them even believe in the innate goodness of mankind, even having seen some pretty hideous things.
