This is a religious movie that is so silent and depressing. Is it just a high-level blackmail of Catholicism or a serious torture of the entire religious system? The director's attitude doesn't seem to be clear either, but it's unmistakably a strong satire of religious fanatics.
Of course, Christianity has three branches: God, Orthodox, and Protestantism. Among them, there are many believers who are not extreme. Therefore, I believe that the original intention of this film is not to deny all religion-related things in one go. Christianity is actually a huge and complex religious system. There was an article before that swept my blindness in a very popular and vivid way and posted it in the comments.

That's why I especially want to slap the heroine's mother a few times.
There is no opening or ending theme song or soundtrack in the whole film. The fourteen long shots are all fixed focus, and only three shots are moved. Only this kind of expression that is very forceful and stern (of course there are audiences who are not used to it and feel dull and sleepy) can present the theme of the film to your heart, scene by scene.
Personally, I feel that, as the characters in the movie say, the world we live in is full of so many sinister things, then I would rather have self as my only belief, rather than any other doctrine or religion - who can guarantee that God or Jesus will Isn't it just an illusion passed on to the world by another "Satan" incarnation? Many people think that they are unbelievers or free believers, but in fact, from the moment we are born, we all regard our own cognition as the only belief in our entire life.
