When Paul showed up reciting everyone's internet browser history to them, it completely overwhelmed them because he had no knowledge that no mortal could or should ever have. That scene is so powerful. If someone in real life could do the same thing and just "know" things, it would make absolutely anyone start to believe.

Stilgar is my favorite. He started as faithful but just trying to fight for his people, seeing Paul as a good fighter, Jessica as a reverend mother replacement and using religion to get the others to accept them. Even after Paul rode the largest grandfather worm, he still viewed Paul as a banner his people could unify under, acknowledging that Paul himself didn't believe. Only when Paul survived the water of life and read the minds of the other leaders did he become a zealot, knowing Paul already knew he desired a paradise for his people but choosing to believe Paul could see it regardless. The way Javier Bardem plays him was soo good.

In God Emperor the Museum Fremen are all that are left of the once proud and tough people. Stilgar's tragedy is a small part of the tragedy of his entire people. However, quite early in reading Dune you get a sense of deep time and all peoples being erased and leaving nothing but echoes of the past. It's one of the reasons Dune resonated for me when I read it. Nothing is permanent, everything is lost to entropy.

The genius of Bardem's portrayal of Stilgar is the same religious fanaticism that's played for laughs in the first half of the film becomes terrifying in the second half. Stilgar's faith doesn't really change. He never wavers in it and is always looking for a reason to believe because, as he says, "I don't care what you believe! I believe!"
For me, that's probably the scariest line of the film. A man who maintains his faith throughout the entire story and, in the end, has it completely rewarded. In another story, Stilgar's might have been seen by the audience as a happy ending yet in Dune we see it with nothing but dread and sadness. All Stilgar was as a Freman got devoured by the religion of the Lisan Al-Gaib.
And perhaps the most frightening thing of all with Stilgar is that, especially now, you can find him everywhere. People who have given into blind faith and devotion to a cause or creed or religion or ideology. People who stopped being people the moment the ideology took over them and possessed them like a demon. The scary thing with Stilgar is that people like him aren't just confined to the walls of a church anymore but can be found everywhere. At every political rally, at every protest, on every news program, and in every comments section. And the worst part is that, like Stilgar, they often don't even realize what's happened to them and what they've lost.

I think the quote from the books (I could be wrong)..... Paul thinking to himself "It was then that I lost a friend, and gained a follower". The scene was done in sadness, as Paul didn't want Stilgar to "convert", but to remain a teacher and inspiration, and mostly: a friend.
One of the saddest parts of this fantastic book series.

Stilgar is a representation of the people who live through hardships. When you have so much hard time, you need to believe something, or you simply cant go further. I see a lot of real life people cannot cope their hard lifes, so their religions or beliefs become their last lifline. Dune series show me that even 1000 years later, religions will not dissappear. It's simply a cope mechanism but it is sometimes beneficial, sometimes not.

One thing the TV miniseries (especially Children of Dune) caught best, even compared to Villeneuve, was the theme of tragedy.
The Fremen who lose their ways, the Atreides who got their revenge only to dissolve within a new order, Paul and Leto II who are so mighty yet powerless, the members of countless factions whose game for power becomes irrelevant in the new order, even the mighty worms who go from beings of veneration to studied specimen on the path to almost extinction.

While Paul may not have been a 'true' messiah; did he do wrong by the Fremen? I mean, he DID lead them to freeing their own planet, and then conquering the universe. Most peoples throughout history would be quite happy with a leader that led them to take revenge on their enemies and then become great conquerors.
