Hows does my philosophy affect my reading?

First of all, I respect everyone's religious beliefs and I believe that everyone is entitled to their beliefs, so I found it quite irritating when Mersault's lawer thrusted a crucifix at him, demanding him to put his trust in God. If you don't believe in God, that is your thing, and I don't think it is right to force beliefs on other people, especially when they clearly do not agree. I also respect that Mersault does not look towards the bigger picture, especially when it comes to marriage, and I find it even more interesting because I'm the type of person that believes the now will always affect my future.
