Regardless of whether Limbo exists or not, or who is or isn’t in it, the concept has meshed itself into pop-culture enough that even a non-religious person will know what you mean if you say that something is “in limbo” There are plenty of value-neutral post-death waiting places in pop culture.
This image below is a still taken form thew from Inception
Inception’s worldbuilding focused heavily on the
concept of Limbo, actually including a final dream-level called Limbo as a
major plot point. This realm is a universal location into which any dreamer who
goes too deep or dies in the dream gets funneled. Once there, time moves
infinitely faster than it does in the waking world. It’s hard to keep hold of
yourself, and without outside interference, you can grow old and die without
ever waking up from the dream. This isn’t a remotely religious limbo, but
hey—they could have called it anything. Calling it Limbo was an intentional and
evocative choice, because it carries cultural significance.
Following down below are two links. First one is to the full
trailer to the film. The second is a simple narration to the people how didn’t quit
understand the hidden gender.
