How does Zeke become religious by the end of Love, Death & Robots volume 4 episode 8?
Zeke is introduced in Love, Death & Robots volume 4 episode 8 as one of the bravest soldiers who happens to be an atheist. He mocks others for their faith and even flips off at heaven before departing for a mission, which involves flying through France and bombing a church. The mission is led by Coomb, an erratic man with a mysterious compass, that is later revealed to point out the arrival of the demon on Earth.
Zeke and his team are successful in their mission and even take down German planes that follow them, with just one casualty on their side. It is when confronted by the demon summoned by a N*zi priest that the soldier is first seen breaking a sweat. In the carnage that proceeds to unfold mid-air, Zeke witnesses the deaths of almost his entire team, as conventional weapons fail to harm the supernatural being in the slightest.
In the end, the only thing that stops the demon is the crucifix pendant carried by his teammate who was a priest. Zeke manages to survive by shooting the pendant into the demon's head and thus owes his life to the very faith he once ridiculed.
