What do people think about the religious scene at the table? (possible spoiler)

Where I first heard the religious stuff coming from Timothy Chalumett (sp?) I thought it was corny and off-putting - just more comedy. Later though, in the last scene of mankind's folly I found it very touching and possibly one, or the most, actual serious scene in the movie and it seemed to bring what was a pretty wild movie to ground.

I'm not religious at all. I went to Protestant Sunday School as a boy and just fell out of it. mostly because I don't believe in magic or the supernatural, and, well, don't you have to buy into all that stuff in any Christian Religion?

I think it could be worse in Islam. Some Islamis sects seem to intrude on believers and require more material and earthly actions. I am not sure about Judaism, or Mormonism, or Buddhism, or Hinduism. I've read a little about them, but not enough to form any solid opinion on them aside from concluding it's not something I would feel comfortable saying I believed in the many strange stories and rituals. But in daily life do people actually believe these strange things or is it about fellowship, as in all around the table having the void of a cold universe?

But the simple way that scene ended, there was something there, that added a lot to the movie - maybe a note of somberness and seriousness to what was a pretty outrageous and rollercoaster ride taking the piss out on pretty much all of its viewers - and then it got kind of serious, in a good way, I thought.

Anyone else notice that scene or have any thoughts on it?
