Charles Dicken's religious views

It appears from Charles Dickens biography that he was a professing Christian and very devout to the lay Anglican Church in England. He even spread his beliefs through a book called The Life of Our Lord talking about Jesus Christ. This was primarily written to teach the Christian morals to his children and family. His views on Christianity and evil and good of people can be seen through the characters in his novel. In Oliver Twist, he showed how the purity of Oliver Twist and how if he believed in the right morals and never became a criminal who commits sin, everything will work out in the end. Charles Dickens also expressed his distaste for the Roman Catholicism because of hypocrisy in religious institutions which he stated to be deviations from the true spirit of Christianity. These views are quite similar to the Protestant reformist Martin Luther. Charles Dickens expresses these views through the portrayal of the character Mr. Bundle who was part of a Catholic institution. He portrays him as a very evil and sinister person in order to show readers to fallible personalities of Roman Catholic supporters. An example is when Mr. Bumble flirts and kisses with Mrs. Corney which is a sign of the sin, lust. Mr. Bumble then acts as a hypocrite when he tells Noah and Charlotte that it is immoral to kiss.
