Mond is continuing with his discussion on practical philosophy of the world he has control over. The discussion is being held between John and Mond due to the fact that Bernard and Helmenholtz are gone. They also concentrate on issues that are occurring in the traditional world. From John’s world to the world of the reader and also from the undesirable life, there is a belief in god in which Mond doesn’t fancy. Although John the savage and Mond’s experiences differ when it comes to religion and god, they complement each other in an odd way as Mond has never lived in a religious world before but he in fact has read religious books. Mond knows about god through his readings of forbidden books he has read such as the bible, the medieval imitation of Christ, and some modern works of Cardinal Newman. On the other hand, John has actually experienced what it is like to live in a world with religion – he lived in a religious world when he lived in Malpais. With this being said, John has the upper hand and a better understanding of religion as well as a better understanding of living in a religious world. However, in Mond’s case he is against religion and freedom in his world, as to where John is all for religion and believes everyone should live in a free world. Mond’s view on religion is very depictive as he believes people should only turn to religion when age and discomfort
