I found that it was easy to identify Spencer's dislike for Christianity as he used a woman who was Catholic, and described her as a female demon. One character was used to show that sin gives birth to monstrous creatures. As she eats them, sin is born again and again. Spencer shows that sin represents the Catholic church. I also noted that the monster era was said to be the Catholic church. Dislike in Spencer's writing for Christianity was present through his woman character, as she vomits up books, and pamphlets. This shows the flood of the religious era. Una who represents the Protestant church, is used to show power to the religion. Spencer uses her character to show that she gave Red Crosse fate, and she tells him what to do. I think that she had enough power to make Red Crosse imagine that she was with another squire. This causes him to rush out in jealous rage. She symbolizes power and Spencer's like for the Protestant religion. Red clothing also represents religion in this poem, which means faithless, was used to represent the Catholic church. The helmet that protected Red Crosse also had a cross on it, which also represents religion.

I think that religion is shown also through nature in this poem. Nature's role in the "Faerie Queene" is very significant throughout the play. An example of this is in trees representing a cursed ground where shepherds never go near. Trees play a very symbolic role. It could also be that the stream in the poem can represent purity. The trees can also be used to symbolize knowledge as they do in the bible. People, like nature, are the products of god. In this poem, Spencer used them to represent his dislike for Christianity, and like for Protestantism.
