omg many are calling "Project Hail Mary" a "Chrstian allegory" when discussing the movie 🤦‍♀️

I have not read that the author of the book, Andy Weir, discussed any religion behind his book, but rather focused on science, linguistics, and just generally positive themes.

Wiki even says he is agnostic.

"Hail Mary" (in this case) does not mean *that* Mary!!

@dalfen Also, I'm pretty sure I recall Andy Weir saying in this interview on @TWiT with @leo that the name Grace was chosen as a joke.

EDIT: They talk about it for 30 seconds at ~3:29-3:59. Also a couple times after. Just listen to the whole episode! 😆
