All this unfolds as Paul connects on a deeper level with his spiritual mentor, Dennis Prager,[16] and examines his life at large.[17] Depending upon God to find clarity in a chaotic world - Paul The Atheist lastly becomes a devout Christian, having found solace in the Christian principles.[18][19] The film also utilizes archived historical and old family footage, as well as recent additions, to create a cohesive biography that is both comic and enlightening.[20][21]
