Hmm, I always interpreted it as whatever path Booker chooses [Religious path or non] he still turns out to be a morally bad person, thus proving that either path isn't ideal. It doesn't really imply that choosing a religious path is the wrong one; it's just an *alternate* one, which is what a lot of the game is about (alternate worlds and such).And that's why I hate this game. The assertion that, in the end, the faith in God made Dewitt no better a man than without that faith. The assertion that faith is inherently a corrupting force, the assertion that faith inherently causes people to develop abhorrent traits within themselves, THAT's why I hate it. Being a man of faith myself I can attest that faith in and of itself is a beneficial force. It gives you peace beyond understanding and assurance beyond reason (not WITHOUT reason as so many people would proclaim; it goes beyond what reason can determine on its own and allows us to trust in God in matters we cannot possibly know on our own).
If the game made more of a point about the misuses of faith, I would be better with that. But it does not. It concludes that faith in and of itself is not a worthwhile goal, and that's why I hate it.
Both paths lead Booker to the same fate whether he was religious or non-religous, so the game isn't really highlighting one path as being the wrong one. Booker, in the end, dies either way in a similar vain.
