A Religion I don't Want

In my reading of Frederick Douglass, the subject of religion caught my attention. Does not religion teach kindness? Does not religion teach love for your fellowman? What kind of religion did these arrogant white slave owners have? They had one that I don't want. " In August, 1832, my master attended a Methodist camp-meeting held in the Bay-side, Talbot county, and there experienced religion" (Douglass 947). Douglass hoped this would make his master, Captain Auld, free his slaves and if not at least make him more kind and humane."If it had any effect on his character, it made him more cruel and hateful in all his ways; for I believe him to have been a much worse man after his conversion than before" (Douglass 947). What kind of religion had Captain Auld and his fellow ministers been converted to? Definitely not from God. A godly person is God like. A christian is christ like. A Godly person does not mistreat, beat, rape or starve anyone for any reason. Instead they are kind, loving and giving. Religon? Maybe some type, a Godly conversion, not a chance.
