That life has meaning. That we are grateful for that created us. • Robert Langdon: So you’re saying that whether you are a Christian or a Muslim simply depends on where you were born? • Vittoria Vetra: Isn’t it obvious? Look at the diffusion of religion around the globe. • Robert Langdon: So faith is random? • Vittoria Vetra: Hardly. Faith is universal. Our specific methods for understanding it are arbitrary. Some of us pray to Jesus, some us go to Mecca, some of us study subatomic particles. In the end we are all just searching for truth, that which is greater than ourselves. (page 248)
