Religion is a theme in the book because the plot contains this world of angels and demons. The shadow hunters are half angel half human and they kill demons on earth. The novel also shows the shadow hunters living in churches and cathedral type buildings. Their weapons can also be found in churches, synagogues, or temples under the alter. Although a specific type of religion is not mentioned in the book, the theme of religion is depicted through the references to Christianity throughout the book. One of the main characters Jace is confronted with his religious beliefs in the novel when Clary asks him if he believes in God while they are in a church. Jace responds by saying he is not sure if he does believe in God because in all his years of killing demons he has never seen an angel. He says that whether you believe in God or not you are on your own in life. This shows how religion plays a role in the shadow hunter world and is depicted in the novel.
