Stephen Crane was a naturalist. so yes, he was talking about religion and it is theistic but naturalists believed that the universe had control over them, so if he mentions religion he's not praising it, he is either mocking it or denouncing it's value.

You cannot find any ounce of theistic religion in these poems and if you do they only serve to mock the faith not validate it.

Is't it so that many a 'priest' in odd garb (black frocks and dog collars for example), supposes that they walk in the sky (or are in touch with God)
