this applies to all verses, but more so to verse one specifically, but patrick is agnostic, leaning more towards atheist. originally he was brought up christian both by his birth parents and his adoptive parents and while he never was a serious practitioner, he always did vaguely question it...but it was never something he seriously thought about.

this, however, changed drastically as a result of felicity's death. his reasoning is that: "if there truly is such thing as a benevolent god, then what happened to felicity and the others would have never occurred in the first place."

#the gentleman ( headcanons. )#believe in a precious world ( headcanons. )#religion cw #i'm going to put this under read more #and tag it with religion #since i know this can be a very personal subject for some ppl #that being said #he was more atheist initially after she died but as he's gotten older #he has become more open-minded over the years....skeptical but welcome to be proven wrong i would say #i mean....the day she died it was really traumatic for him ngl #like it wasn't just suddenly losing her #it was also seeing her charred dead body ....in the midst of destruction and just well that'll fuck with your head for while #AND THEN?? the media suddenly denies that this ever happened?? so yeah i think this is warranted :/#it's actually kinda interesting?? that in the two years i've had him #felicity's death while it does come up #i don't think i actually talk a lot on here about the impact it had on patrick's life #like yeah he's been grieving for like 10 years #but esp in verse one it manifests in more subtle ways.....#this also low key ties into goblin...which has some pretty christian values here if you examine it :DD
