I disagree with your characterization of the not-rapture as a mystery, at least in terms of the narratives. Just because something isn't explained doesn't make a mystery. Imagine it was a story where characters are struggling with what happens to people when they die. Would that be introducing a "mystery" that has to be solved? Like, the various cults - Wayne and the Guilty Remnant - I would say those are mysteries. We're meant to wonder what they're about, and they're introducing both new answers and questions about them. Same with the Dog Dude. We're probably going to learn more about what's going on with them eventually. But the not-rapture hasn't really been portrayed in the same way. So far it's just been presented as a stand-in for, I guess, something like the fundamental uncertainty of the universe. Like, they could have just as well have used the afterlife, instead, but they're using a fantasy element to distance the story from the real world a little bit so they can discuss things without stampeding over people's personal beliefs.
