Note

The talk about a Hubert/Mercedes support reminds me: Hubert's post-ts advice box note also implies that he used to be religious, so that would have been interesting to explore in a support between them.

Good point!

I think what made Hubert be anti-theist (idk if that's the right word) is that he's experienced and seen the evil humans and other living beings had the capacity of performing more than what could be considered "divine". First he saw his own father betray everything he taught him by taking part of the Insurrection and then saw what TWSITD did to Edelgard and overall how they puppeteered the empire from behind the scenes.

I think it would be somewhat difficult for him to talk about that kind of stuff with Mercedes without revealing too much, but it would be interesting for a conversation between someone who's very devoted and someone who lost faith in a deity.
