HUCK'S VIEW ON RELIGION

• Views religion as unimportant.
• Believes the Bible is a list of stories that would be better if realistic.
• Prayer has no use.
• Always returns to prayer in a time of need.

HUCK'S VIEW ON RELIGION

• "After supper she got out her book and learned me about Moses and the Bulrushers, and I was in a sweat to find out all about him; but by and by she let it out that Moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then I didn't care no more about him, because I don't take no stock in dead people."
• "Miss Watson she took me in the closet and prayed, but nothing come of it. She told me to pray every day, and whatever I asked for I would get it. But it warn't so."

PRESENT DAY VIEW OF RELIGION

• Religion is widely spread.
• Strong believers in religion believe everyone should live by the Bible.
• The people who do have faith are judgemental, cruel, and do not practice what they preach.
• They tell others to follow God and accept all, but church goers in today's time are the most cruel and judgmental people out there.
