In the Chapter "Church" the platoon comes across the pagoda and several soldiers think about joining the church because of the kind caring villagers surrounding the area. Dobbins wanted to join the church and Kiowa carries around a bible and wants to join the church as well.
"Dobbins shrugged his shoulders. 'What's serious? I was a kid. The thing is, I believed in God and all that, but it wasn't the religious part that interested me. Just being nice to people, that's all. Being decent."
This quote explains Dobbins interest in joining the church and his urge to always be nice to people no matter the circumstance. He explains his interest in religion was not god or heaven but love and kindness.
