David's keeping Shaw's cross in his own utility belt (after having removed it from Shaw prior to his anticipation of cryoing her return to Earth), was a significant oddity.
He anticipated both possibilities: 1) Shaw's becoming a vector for the destruction of Earth, having discarded her "Faith"; or 2) her continuing life as one of the of the Faithful, whose power/(luck?) seems inexhaustible.
That characteristic seems to puzzle artificial persons, almost to the point of envy - they comment on it in most every "Alien" film - iirc.
Like you said: survival might very well be rooted in the gift of love for God (as Faith) - "Man does not live by bread alone".
