Analysis and comments on Walking in the sky by Stephen Crane

Comment 4 of 4, added on March 28th, 2009 at 8:23 PM.

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)

God will not know you unless you give yourself to him
