Perhaps I have.
Though I believe I said that people wouldn’t forget the concept of divinity, not wish for the old days in the country church. Practiced religion could believably be absent. Katniss is able, though never excited, to both perform and witness violence. It’s only once the final violent act happens that she “snaps” into despondency. There was never a need for redemption because Katniss was not the sinner. But the final violent event does leave room for hope—for something to survive for.
What’s the point of survival if there’s nothing on the horizon, nothing over the hill, nothing to live for? That thing begins as her family, becomes the cause, then ends as nothing. Perhaps the epilogue encourages us to believe it’s her family once again. But the nothingness is unsatisfactory.
I doubt all North Koreans are ignorant of God, and most (going only from a single documentary I watched, so I’m an expert) are told that the Kims are divine. I’d guess that some of the people in their work camps are there for saying that the Kims aren’t gods. Or that another god exists.
The Capitol never tried to be anybody’s god, just the boot on their necks.
I took the point of the hunger games to be the reinforcement of a sense of helplessness and total submission to the state.
Such a system would not tolerate a Christian faith. It is too much of a threat.
How many Christians are ther in Mecca? They have done thorough job of eradication.
