10. How is Huxley mocking religion?
In Brave New World, Huxley mocks the Christian religion because the Christian god, is God. Huxley uses Henry Ford as God in the book because he created the Model-T car. He also mocks the Christian religion because Christians use the symbol of the cross, and in the book, they cut the top off of the crosses so that it forms the letter "T." They cut off the top of the cross to form the letter "T" simply because of their "god's" (or Henry Ford's) creation, the Model-T car. Also, they draw T's on their stomach at one point in the book. The Bible, the Christian's book of beliefs, also is being mocked because no one is allowed to read it or believe in anything having to do with the Bible, and people are not encouraged to read it because their God is not our God.
I think I've got it all coveredddd?!
