Angels & Demons: Important Quote

An important quote in the novel, Angels & Demons, is when Vittoria says, "Religion is like language or dress. We gravitate toward the practices which we were raised. In the end, though, we are all proclaiming the same thing. That life has meaning. That we are grateful for the power that created us." This quote is very important, because it reflects one of the main character's opinions on religion. In this novel, it seems as if people's opinions on religion take a very important role throughout the course of the novel, because their opinions on religion and science change due to scientific discoveries made by Leonardo Vetra. This quote means that your religion depends on where you were born. This quote also shows that one of the main characters, Vittoria Vetra, believes that it doesn't matter what religion you believe in. Vittoria believes that the type of religion doesn't matter, for they all point toward the same essential subject: How were we humans created? It is important that the reader knows Vittoria's perspective on religion, because I have noticed that as the story goes on, the characters' ideas on religion and science begin to change. I predict Vittoria's ideas about religion and science will change, which is why I think it is important for the reader to know her original idea about religion.
