First time reading a Discworld novel and thought this was a remarkable exploration of the relationship between humans and religious beliefs on several levels, including how beliefs can be the basis for extremely powerful social institutions, how each individual makes sense of what to believe in and what to question, how humans interact with morality and the presence/need of belief in transcendent beings. The way the book is written, with so many memorable lines and such a light-hearted approach to extremely serious matters (torture, death, slavery, etc.) makes this an incredibly unique book. It brings satire to the forefront (because it is good to laugh at things that are probably ridiculous) but I don't think the author was being cynical at all about the topics dealt with in the story. I loved how nuanced the perspectives were, never settling for the obvious black and white choices when it came to matters like believing in a god, following socially powerful structures and traditions, religious fundamentalism, independent thinking, technological progress, etc. I thought the protagonist, Brutha, was a very relatable character, in the sense that most of us discover our place in society from a very naive, “just play along” kind of attitude, so seeing where the story takes this initially extremely passive person was super interesting.
