"Common to all portrayals of the Hollywood Atheist is the idea that faith is the natural state and something must occur to drive the character away from the norm" - there is nothing in the movie that explains why he's an atheist and religion is NOT depicted as natural - the movie itself is anti-religion, not just the character.

The film was and is regarded as a landmark of not only the year, and the decade, but the century, with similar magnitudes of praise going to Day-Lewis' performance, for which he won most every honor that the 2007 award circuit had available for Best Actor, including his second UsefulNotes/AcademyAward. It further won an Oscar for Best Cinematography (Robert Elswit), but lost its six other nominations (including Best Picture), half of them going to another universally lauded Paramount Vantage/Miramax co-production with a winter 2007 release: ''Film/NoCountryForOldMen''. Miramax, owned by Creator/{{Disney}} from 1993-2010, now has a minority stake owned by Paramount, giving it the worldwide rights to ''No Country for Old Men'' and ''There Will Be Blood'' as the new distributor of the Miramax library.
