Religion Gaffes
This page contains a selection of howlers relating to religion, gathered from 4 best-selling compilations by Viking Press published under the pseudonym of Alexander Abingdon in the 1930s. The selected extracts, edited and rearranged, are reproduced for readers in countries where the books are in the public domain, which, to the best of our knowledge, includes Australia (because more than 70 years have passed since the books' publication and because the so-called anonymous rule applies). For other countries, please check your local copyright laws.
