I quite liked it
I thought this was quite a good piece. The basic feeling I got from this was how when one turns their back on their beliefs, they more or less become an 'animal' with no sense of higher purpose. I almost got the feeling of an internment camp from the boat scene, perhaps the separation among a crowd as well. When the man walks away from the cross, it's almost as if the cross itself it turning it's back on him, rather than the other way around. The man, after losing all faith, commits suicide, for he has lost himself completely, become the animal. I especially liked how it seems that the scenes of faith one sees are more like remembrances seen through the eyes of a man already complete disillusioned by whatever life has brought him, rather than a recitation of his life. This is all obviously speculation, but what I got out of it, and I quite liked it. Well done.
