ya'll too hung up on the dude being an ass right now. the plot is thickening, and drama is cooking. if it were sweeter, it would be a very boring read. the whole point is religion vs sin and the conflict they both have with this, while having attraction towards each other. ML was literally whipped and conditioned to be god's soldier and to kill. He knows nothing but hate towards heretics, especially witches. Religion can fuck one up as is, so imagine what a fucking turmoil he has in his head. He has deep desire for fl, but can't really turn everything away since he is under god's and empire's clutches. He still prays ffs, after everything he had done with her. he's trying to find excuses. Let's see how story progresses before ruining the reading exerience. it's obvious he'll change and realize that entire empire and his religion has done nothing but use him and fuck him up.
