- 721: Satanism
- ... represents all the so-called sins, to the extent they lead to physical, mental and emotional gratification"). Already in this manifesto of Satanism the symptoms of a profound rebellion against religion in general and against Christianity in particular clearly emerge. As one continues to read The Satanic Bible, one meets with a little chapter significantly titled: "Wanted! God dead or alive ... a whole is presented as a series of psychodramas aiming at liberating its initiates from the unconscious heritage of their previous Christian religious membership in general, and of the Catholic religion in particular (cf. The Satanic Rituals, New York,1972). The blasphemous profanations of Christian rites are carried out for the most part in the context of a ritual calling for ... seems to offer an alternative and an opportunity to frustrated spirits or to those who are ill with some form of acute egolatria, through an absurd reversal of the dominant religion, identified as the source of one's own unhappiness.

- 724: Inherit The Wind
- ... where God didn’t exist -- I wouldn’t want to. Turn around 360 degrees and you are back facing the same direction, now science lies in front of you where religion so recently resided. Politics, science, philosophy, theology, technology -- it’s so easy to become confused. Science is a truth, no matter how adamantly we decree it otherwise. If we were ... two tools of human understanding are parallels, and not opposites, each in their own separate realms. Science is simply an inquiry into the facts and nature of the world, while religion is a search for ethics and morals. They should be equal, mutually respecting partners, each the master of its own domain, each vital to human existence in its own way. The whole controversy over evolution is misguided, for science without it is like chemistry without the periodic table or history without George Washington. Accepting evolution isn’t rejecting religion. Both can, and should exist in harmony, and the powers that be should let the individual decide where his interests may be focused.

It is obvious that the author disapproves with the majority of the people in Conn. I guess that he believes that religion is a fine thing, for otherwise he would have let the narrator leave the church during the Mass, I suppose. But what the author really wants with this story ...

- 727: Hidden Politics
- ... with the rationale that in order to love their country, the Irish must also follow a specific politician, Charles Parnell. Dante's reply furthers the integration of ideals by linking religion to politics, through stating that the priests were right in abandoning Parnell in the political arena.

- 729: Symbolism in Silas Marner
- ... essay of Silas Marner that “Godfrey Cass is ironically named. His Christian name suggests that he is free, at peace with God” (103). This statement shows how Eliot refers to religion in her, Eliot’s, novel.

This is when Eppie toddled to Silas’s home and through the door, while Silas was having one of his trances. Eliot also tries to tie religion into the novel through Silas’s trances.
