οΈI have not read that the author of the book, Andy Weir, discussed any religion behind his book, but rather focused on science, linguistics, and just generally positive themes.
Wiki even says he is agnostic.
"Hail Mary" does not mean *that* Mary!!

--It's a 'hail Mary' pass. A long shot. A gamble. Somethat that you don't expect to work out, but you'll try anyway.

@dalfen
Which, of course, is in turn a reference to that Mary.
But using a reference that ultimately points at the bible in no way means it has to be religious in a culture & language that's been steeped in that religion for over a thousand years. That would be like saying everyone named "Christian" or "Jesus" is named specifically because the parents were very religious, which obviously isn't so. -

Can't wait to watch it. I have the book on wishlist. Enjoyed his short "The Egg" story. -

Have you?
The common phrase "hail mary pass" has nothing to do with religion, even if someone somewhere says "hail mary" piously.
Using a common secular phrase does not turn the author's intention into something meant to have some sort of allegorical Christian meaning.
It seems some have converted the author's intention to something more suited to their worldview.

I haven't yet read "The Egg," but I did read "The Martian" (which was
great) and saw the movie (which differed from the book in several ways).Also, your GIF and comment made me laugh
