Lee Adama and Souls

[lls_mutant]

Quick question- would Lee Adama believe in a soul? Does he ever mention them? My impression is that Lee's more on the agnostic/atheist side of things, but nowhere near as devoutly as Billy. We're talking season 4.5, in between mutiny and Deadlocked here.

Thanks!

I think it depends on the context. I can't see Lee as religious, per se, but "souls" is an easy shorthand for individual consciousnesses, too. I could see Lee buying that humans--and maybe Cylons--each have an individual consciousness that, though maybe created by the firing of neurons, is separable from the body in which it was first created. Especially in the BSG 'verse with Cylon resurrection, a person would almost *need* some kind of word to deal with that concept, even if they didn't believe in an indestructible soul in the traditional sense. I have no idea if that helps or not. Good luck!
