Prince Caspian Religion Quotes

Quote #4

"I'll believe in anyone or anything," said Nikabrik, "that'll batter these cursed Telmarine barbarians to pieces or drive them out of Narnia. Anyone or anything, Aslan or the White Witch, do you understand?" (6.12)

Yeah… Nikabrik kind of misses the point here. He's so focused on the ends that he disregards the means, but in religion, the means generally justify the ends.

Quote #5

In the center was the Stone itself—a stone table, split right down the center, and covered with what had once been writing of some kind: but ages of wind and rain and snow had almost worn them away in old times when the Stone Table had stood on the hill top, and the Mound had not yet been built above it. (7.41)

Most—not all—religions use icons, relics, and artifacts in their worship. The Stone Table from The Lion returns to play just such a role in Prince Caspian, representing a holy place and haven for Caspian's holy war.

Quote #6

"And if Aslan himself comes, [Cair Paravel] would be the best place for meeting him too, for every story says that he is the son of the great Emperor-over-the-Sea, and over the sea he will pass." (7.51)

Most—again not all—religions use stories to pass down their beliefs, dogmas, and ideas. To name a few, Hinduism has the Bhagavad Gita, Judaism has the Book of Job, and Christians have the Gospels. And look that! Believers in Aslan (Aslanians?) have their stories, too.
