Huck isn't a believer of religion and is skeptical of what Ms.Watson tries to teach him because he has tried praying many times and it was unsuccessful in fulfilling what he wanted.

Silas ultimately doesn’t belong in Lantern Yard. The villagers see Silas as odd, especially due to the curious cataleptic fits he occasionally suffers, and the fact that in these states, he receives no vision or word from God. The ultimate sign of Silas’s not belonging in the town of Lantern Yard is seen in his excommunication and betrayal. Lantern Yard is a community of faith, a tight-knit religious sect, held together by a narrow religious belief that Eliot suggests is based more on superstition than any sort of

Sydney Canaan Mrs. Beard AP English IV 25, January 2012 Religion vs. Humanism In Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Hardy places many questions of justice and religion in the reader's mind, and these inquiries challenge many of the conventional ideals found in Victorian England.
