No, it's more about living in isolation and then exploring the horrible world and create art in the middle of it.

a man who belives in god sees the world diffrently from one who does not.
> Tarkovsky's diaries—published under the title Time Within Time, which he called, tongue only partially in cheek, Martyrology—are peppered with ruminations on God and film, with Scripture references and with desperate prayers for help (e.g. "Lord! I feel You drawing near, I can feel Your hand upon the back of my head. Because I want to see Your world as You made it, and Your people as You would have them be. I love You, Lord, and want nothing else from You.")
> One page has a drawing of a cross and Tarkovsky has written, "What can I do? Only pray! And believe. The most important thing of all is this symbol, which it is not given to us to understand, only to feel. To have faith in spite of everything; to have faith."

It's still a major part of western civilization, culture and history. Not reading the bible is ignorant regardless of your religious beliefs
>>64472978
Have you read the Bhagavad Gita or the Koran or the Pali canon?
>>64472851
you don't have to be christian to read the most important piece of literature of all time

none of those are important to western civilization
>>64473160
Then how do you understand non-Western films?
>>64473171
