** What makes you think Mark really went into coming up with some lore for his religion and actually claimed that God died for our sins? It could just be a more simplistic faith (he tells his mother that people, not necessarily good, go to a good afterlife when they die, which leaves out the concept of a bad afterlife or the idea that there are things you can do that will send you to one afterlife or the other). He quite literally ''is'' the prophet claiming to have brought the words of the Man in the Sky to us, so that would be the most obvious symbol if you don't want to add a whole subplot about Mark thinking out his theology.

*** If that were so, wouldn't you have people in the movie posit that there may be a god/afterlife instead of simply being nihilistic? There's no proof that there are any higher beings or an afterlife, but there isn't any proof that they ''don't'' exist, especially if you subscribe to the idea that they exist in a different plane of existence from ours.
