The argument over religious symbols reflects the deepening divide between Will and Anna’s perspectives. For Will, the religious imagery holds personal meaning, connecting him to a spiritual world that gives him a sense of purpose. Anna’s mockery highlights her rational, skeptical worldview, which clashes with Will’s spiritual attachment. It is particularly problematic for the wellbeing of their relationship that Anna not only does not believe in Will’s God, but she also feels the need to be insulting. Briefly, during their honeymoon, Will found all of the meaning he needed in Anna. However, now that phase of their relationship is over, and he is trying to return to the religion that has always brought him comfort—but to no avail.
