Even disregarding 3-5... There is something else about him.

"Without evidence, you have nothing. You are nothing." ...was it?

These are not words of someone who would believe in any religion, really.

Well said, good sir. Well said.

Though I should point out that there's no evidence to make a firm judgement on a fictional character's beliefs either.

Now, more about the religion in AA... 5-2 goes far into religious beliefs in the game's producer's country. And you see how everyone treats these beliefs, whether it's Apollo, Judge or Fulbright.

We can safely assume pretty much everyone is atheist, now. <_<

If you're defining atheism as absence of [Christianity/Shinto/other organized religion], then maybe.

If you're defining atheism as absence of belief in all paranormal phenomena and all forms of spiritualism - no.

EVERYONE'S FAITH/BELIEF SYSTEM IN ACE ATTORNEY IS CANON BI

Better?

Not until everyone admits that they're all part of the religion that worships the Steel Samurai. Then we will have a canon cult following for a kid's show.

Ace Attorney 6 will be about religion someday

Oh, and but we had a religion-related chapter. 5-2 was nothing but that.

What the heck do yokai and religion have to do with each other?

I believe it's pretty much the same matter as "what the heck do angels and religion have to do with each other?"...

Really.

Though, that's just my take on the matter.

I'm personally in the camp that states a character's religion or lack thereof is up for debate unless confirmed in universe.

Afaik, Edgeworth has never stated that he believes in a higher power, but at the same time, he hasn't stated that he doesn't believe in one either.

Ergo, what we have here is a case of Schrodinger's Religious Cat. Edgeworth is both an Atheist and a Theist at the same time, and will remain so until we have some concrete proof telling us for certain which side he leans towards.

(That said, it is completely possible to be scientifically minded and religious at the same time. As Einstein said, "Science without religion is lame... Religion without science is blind." Just throwing that out there).

My money's on agnostic. There's no hard evidence that God exists, yet there is no hard evidence that suggests that God does NOT exist. I can't see Miles definitively saying that there are no gods, because there is no proof. That being said, I don't think he's the type to waste his time wondering about the Great Unknown. Rather than believing in concepts such as "the Will of God," he believes that human beings are responsible for forming their own destiny (at least, that's my interpretation of his character).

To change the topic, wasn't the prosecutor issue bothering Edgeworth during Rise from the Ashes and through Justice for All described by him several times as "the sins we have committed", if my memory is correct? To me it seemed like he always took that stuff very seriously in a sense almost asking for religious forgiveness.

So far the only canon mention of religion we have in script, is an ambiguous "God" entity which may or may not refer to Christian God.

Guard: The father's talking in the private room with him.
Trucy: The father? You mean like a priest?
Guard: I mean the suspect's father, Mr. Winfred "Big Wins" Kitaki himself.

I'm sure he never used that phrase. And even if he did, I can think of a few non-religious people using the word "sin" in that way.

Truth be told, the only person who showed any explicit belief in this subject was Regina and no one really took that seriously...
