Personally, I didn't come out of the movie thinking I was supposed to get a particular message about religion. Joe's cult didn't strike me as being a stand-in for all organized religion. Either Miller is really subtle with his message here (certainly possible) or he's not sending one and just exploring how religion might manifest itself it a post-apocalyptic society. I dunno.

My thoughts were along this line. I don't reckon it was a commentary on religion exactly so much as how Immortan Joe could use a fanatic cult to his benefit. But I do recall that it's talked about in the art book and making of! I haven't read that far yet but maybe someone else online has?

There has definitely been meta about Valhalla crossing my dash.

I think the message was definitely about how easy it is to control the masses with religion in an environment where they're scared, ignorant, and have so little agency.
