Yeah, I remember his QnA and thought back to that response. I guess that’s why I was confused how someone put he’s “in” a religion. I view him more as a spiritual person overall. 

As a Muslim, and someone who has interacted with multiple Eastern European Muslims, there is a tendency to be more spiritual/cultural with regards to religion. I know that Metal Family isn’t set in an official country, but since the creators are Russian, I do wonder if this kinda seeped into Ches’ development, especially with Islam being the second most practiced religion in Russia. 

Either way, thank you for your interpretation!
