The play is often seen as an attack on Christianity and conservative values.<ref>Patkovszky, Patricia 2006, ''Samuel Beckett and the question of God in Waiting for Godot'', Humboldt University Berlin, Department of English and American Studies, 20th-Century Drama </ref> The character of Godot, viewed as a representation of God, never arrives, and the characters consider this fact 'meaningless'. Like many existential texts, the play tries to prove that God as a concept is dead or doesn't exist, despite [[Arguments for the existence of God|obvious proof to the contrary]].
