Problem: What point or points about religion was the filmmaker trying to make with the film agora? How is religion used in it? Is the filmmaker biased about religion or a particular type of religion? Why has philosophy become so undervalued in this period? Why is the destruction of the library, and by implication knowledge, embraced by the crowd? Why was it impossible for Hypatia to marry and still teach and study philosophy at that time? Why did the students and teacher keep referring to Euclid's principle about geometric equality? How is it related to humanity in the film? Why did Davus joined the parabalani? Was he a seeker after truth as Hypatia was? Did the parabalani provide answers for him? What is the religious struggle in the city really about? Do all the characters use religion for their own ends to some extent?
