Priestley believed in the idea of the Welfare state, where everyone was supported by each other. He was a supporter of socialism - his play promotes social responsibility and criticises the problems caused by the class divide.

Economic issues (which can be seen as class issues) continue to be the most important issues In these ways, economics and class are still more important (as Karl Marx would say they always will be) than issues of religion in most modern societies. As far as rifts between faiths can be healed upon understanding the rights of each other beliefs without interring with other in any other way (don’t kill someone cause they don’t believe in what you believe in..) Religion is the cause of
