Religion In Little Tree And Granpa

The third main idea that is similar to the three novels is religion. Little Tree and Granpa do not care for church or for religion. For example, the politician at the crossroads store mentioned that Catholics are the rottenest people that ever lived (82). Little Tree agreed that the politician should go back to Washington City to whip the Catholics (83). Granpa mentioned preachers are too focused on themselves, that they do not let anybody into the church without the preacher’s approval (152). After learning about Baptists, Little Tree does not believe that water should have anything to do with religion (153). Granpa mentioned that if God was narrow headed idiot that argued about the strict rules, then Heaven would not be a good place for anybody
