Huckleberry Finn's Character Based on Quote

“Somebody prayed that this bread would find me, and here it has gone and done it...there’s something in it when a body like the widow or the parson prays, but it don’t work for me and I reckon it don’t work for only just the right kind” (45).

     Huckleberry is definitely non-religious. He believes in superstition and fate but definitely not in God. He does, though, believe in a hell where he thinks his friend will go; therefore, he will go. Back in those days, many people were religious and believed in a Heaven. 

     Most kids grew up going to church on Sundays but Huckleberry wasn't really that kind of kid, he leaned more towards the rebellios side. He's in denial when it comes to religion. In this quote, it states that only widows gets their prayers answered and he believes that prayer doesn't work for only the right kind. He basically means, that everyone's prayers get answered except for his. Which is why, he doesn't like prayer or Sunday school. 
     His way of reasoning is: if something happens after my actions, it's most likely true. If nothing happens, then it's most likely not true. That's the reason why he believes in superstition. In the belief of superstition, if you act in a bad manner, then karma will give you what you deserve. In religion, it is all about faith and believing even though you can't see it. He chose to believe in the 
things he can see rather than having blind faith. He is a skeptic, he's adventurous, and brave.
