Today, Smith identifies as an atheist; in 1999, though, he still called himself a Catholic. While the 1999 Smith clearly did not think that de-Christianization was a good thing, Dogma does not believe that institutionalized religion is the solution. The film’s underlying message is similar to the approach of Gen X-ers and millennials who stop going to church, yet call themselves “spiritual,” seeking meaning in yoga or mindfulness.

some of us take longer than others, and a small set of us have to do it in front of everyone.

Good for him. I'm happy he's found fact.
