Did Dan Brown's da Vinci Code change your view of religion?

after i watched the movies,i gained alot of insight into the inner dealings of the religions.but it never changed my view on my own religion or changed my faith.i guess some people believed that theres a conspiracy within the catholic religion.

I am a writer in my own language and understand perfectly well what fiction is. The Da Vinci Code is a novel. Fiction. As any fbook of fiction, there have to be some real things so it "looks" real. If you read Don Quixote, you will be able to see the same background that the real place had. The famous windmills are there but they were not giants, as the character thought they were. Why would a novel change the way I trhink about religion, unless I did not know how to read? And if I did not know how to read, even the Bible placed in my hands would be dangerous. The Roman Catholic Church has a lot of classified information. But because it is classified, a novelist would not have access to that either. I anm a seeker as religion goes, but clearly that book would not be a place where I would seek anything because I know beforehand that I would not find the answers I want. I have been nearer answers being in silence at the Atacama desert, at the Vatican, at the Cordoba Mezquite. And answers for me, as religion goes, go beyond a Church or creed.

It nearly turned me into an atheist. I can't imagine any deity with any power allows that kind of writing to exist. It's a dreadful book, badly written, idiotically presented and more holes than a Berlin brothel.

Not at all. Though it's based on Christianity and the Catholic history and such, it still is fiction. I appreciate the fact that some of the contents are based on true stories and that Dan Brown did a lot of research. To me, it is still a fiction which is very well written. It did nothing to change my opinion or beliefs.

Yes & no. No, because religion is basically an empty shell without the presence of the Living Master, so religions can basically say whatever they wish (usually to suit their own ends) about the Master once he has ascended. So no, it didn't really have any surprises for me. Yes, because it gave some further pointers & key words to conduct my own research upon regarding the corruption of the faith in which I & many of us here were raised. What aspects of the book do you believe to not stand up historically? I think Dan Brown's works were fairly well researched at the time the works were produced.

I have been doing religious research before reading the book and it does not change my religious views rather it enhances it.It just affirm my beliefs that some religious leaders had change Christianity for their own self advantage.Yes,the story in the book is still a fiction but it reveals informations that makes you think twice and evaluate your own belief.

It was said that no religion can save you. After reading Da Vinci Code, it did not change my view of religion because of the fact that I'm not attached nor formally committed to any religion but that doesn't mean I do not believe that God does not exist. God I believe is in the heart of every person. Faith lives in the heart of a believer. Da Vinci Code I think is just an insight about the Catholic Church. It's their history. The book jives to how the Catholic Church was established.

No it did not change mt view of religion. It's really about your faith in a higher being. For me God exists. And whatever happened through history happened for a reason. Although I was intrigued by the book. As humans, we are a curious creature. God gave us freewilll to think for ourselves.
