Wow, the couple of comments so far are just raging "le redditor atheist".
This comic is harmless. Ya'll just see "religion" and get angry... calm down edgelords.
Yeah, the "church" thing was just placing the setting, which sounds like it could be a real event from the author's life - not much they can do about where it happened. The story and the punchline have nothing to do with religion, so it's an odd thing to latch onto.
TBF, Brown 'losing his religion' is a major theme of the graphic novel, and I thought he handled it with plenty of respect, tact, and honesty... all told in his quirky storytelling mode, of course.

Oh man, I feel this. The decision to express himself in the way that feels best (even if it isn't through words), the grown-up making a misinterpretation of it, the inadvertent embarrassment on the kid for having been misunderstood... the author could be my kin.
It's a nice book, and a lighthearted look at a young man losing his religion. I'll post some more pages, soon.
oh child, they'd do something far worse than attack you
Like, regaling you endlessly with Grampa Simpsons' incoherent stories? XD
Fuck mission trips. Fuck your prosletyzing drivel. Shut the fuck up about your nonsense religions and stay the fuck home. You do not help with these mission trips. You destroy communities around the world.
Preach, brother! /s
Religious propaganda bullshit.
