Pay attention to her conversation with her father in the dream David watches. Also consider when and why her crucifix which is removed symbolizing a loss of faith, and then it is ultimately returned as she chooses to restore her faith and believe. The scientists who lack faith quickly succumb to evil.

argument against it.
If she truly were religious, she wouldn't have an abortion. Hehe…
Now, if aliens created Man, what need of God? That's the bottom line of Scott's film, if you want to lower it to being some sort of cheesy religious message flick.
And surviving hardly is a moral victory, is it? Dying in opposition to evil, I'd argue, is just as righteous.
As Shaw says in the film when Holloway points out that the engineers created humans and Shaw can now stop wearing her crucifix, "who created them?" I don't think it's a cheesy religious flick at all. I just think it deals in the currency of imagery and ideas related to faith versus empiricism in much the same way that Alien deals in the consciousness "human versus other"...
There is no way to get around the fact that the scientists who lacked faith quickly were killed off in a way that would never be characterized by "opposition to evil" by anyone who has seen the film.
" I'm a Scientist, I don't believe in Anything!"
Read that somewhere recently.
I liked the film a lot, looking forward to what comes next.
Any idea when it migh be released?
The good news is Rapace and Fassbender have signed on. P2 has a different writer than those associated with Prometheus, which was heavily rewritten. Scott's production company is listed as producing, so that is a good sign. The screenplay is now being reworked.
