'You had a question.'
'Yes. As a scientist and the daughter of a Catholic priest, what do you think of religion?'
Vittoria paused, brushing a lock of hair from her eyes. 'Religion is like a language or dress. We gravitate toward the practices whit which we were raised. In the end, though, we are all proclaiming the same thing. That life has a meaning. That we are greatful for the power that created us.'
Langdon was intrigued. 'So you're saying that whether you are a Christian or a Muslim simply depends on where you were born?'
'Isn't it obvious? Look at the diffusion of religion aorund the globe.'
