It's more critical of consumerism and hypocrisy in religion than it is preaching a gospel.

The main character works for a company that publishes Bibles, exposing a heartless business side of religion. The antagonist is very religious and creates his own religious rituals. Other characters often pray or meditate. Some characters join a church not because they believe in God, but because they want to be part of a community.(less)
