Netflix took a dramatic step forward in creating this remake of this british political drama. Released strictly for Netflix the series gives dramatic freedom to the director and plays like a prolonged movie. In the film congressional party whip Francis Underwood runs a victorious campaign for the democratic presidential campaign. However, upon wining he is not rewarded the position he expected from the president. Francis decides to take matters into his own hands and begins political games in order to gain more power. Both him and his wife are willing to sacrifice anything to fulfill their goals. While watching the show their are numerous events when religion shows its face. Underwood uses religion as a tool to gain support, he often lies about his faith. In one episode he goes to a church and prays. Francis states that he prays only for himself and too himself. He seems to be superstitious despite not believing in God. Underwood's faith is placed only in himself and his final end is his success. He does not believe in a inherent meaning to life instead he takes it. Despite being devoid of any faith he seems unable to shake the presence in the possibility of some spiritual realm.
