Let's start with the obvious points:
1-Who among the characters in this movie that resort to prayer in the traditional sense, survive? None.
2-Why are the producers so hell-bent determined to give us imagery of *Christian* monuments and shrines, the Vatican, the Sistine ceiling (and is it just coincidence that the first crack is in the part that shows Adam reaching out to God?) and the Christ statue in Rio crumbling, to the exclusion of shrines of other faiths?
3-The movie then tells us this is the start of the "Year 1". Yes, let's do away with the old world symbolically once and for all by ending a dating system that uses the birth of Christ as the focal point!
4-As for ending up in Africa, I suspect the filmmakers are hoping they will be finding their own stereotypical concept of Africa, a place filled with non-westernized natives who continue to practice pantheistic type enviro-style religions if any.
