With a cold certainty, Tommy Shelby states, “All religion is a foolish answer to a foolish question.” It is not rebellion—it is raw survival. War stripped him of illusions, replacing faith with reason. Unlike those who seek comfort in belief, Tommy relies only on what he can control. This moment is not just about religion; it is about his entire worldview—pragmatic, unsentimental, and unshaken by hope. In a world built on chaos, Tommy refuses to believe in anything but himself.
