Do you think that the author implied that Peyton was a christian because of how his hallucinations were almost like heaven? I mean he was healed and he got to see his wife. And if you didn't think this, did you think this represented anything else?

"As Peyton Fahrquhar fell straight downward through the bridge he lost consciousness and was as one already dead." I believe this quote to be the most important in the story because it's stated right before the explanations of everything that Peyton sees. Everything seems so real to not only Peyton, but also the reader. The nature he sees creates a perfect image in our minds. The trees are lush and the water is crisp. He's hallucinating something that is almost like heaven. He's safe and where he wants to be. Right before he embraced his wife, reality hit and he felt a blow to his back. His mind went black. I wonder if the reason why he saw his wife but not his kids in his hallucination is because his wife is dead.
