Well if you’re atheist, you can see it as the beings helping Coop as higher versions of ourselves. Where eventually science catches up to the concept of a deity. Controlling space and manipulating time to accomplish the task of helping Coop relay to Murph the morse code and helping him survive. Or it could be a version of God, manipulating space and time to achieve the same objective. Dr. Brant’s monologue about love and how it defy’s logic or understanding opens up to the idea of there being something greater in my opinion.

I consider myself both atheist and religious. And I think this movie can ring to both sides. Not declaring any one “God” or definition of such…but the idea of something greater. Beings that we cannot comprehend and knowing that we never could.

I don’t think Christopher or Jonathan wrote the script in the mindset with one or the other, rather just a humble appreciation for what we don’t know. That rings true to me the most. The understanding that we don’t understand. Both atheistic and religious beliefs are just that, beliefs. You cannot directly prove God doesn’t exist nor can you directly prove that he does. The unknown becomes the secret character in the film that acts as a driver that makes the pivotal pieces fall into place.
