Three works of literature have many key ideas, and most of them can be found to compare and contrast with each other. Religion is a major idea through the world; there are many varieties and various denominations.

In The Odyssey, a book by a Greek poet Homer, it shows the belief in Greek Mythology and Polytheism. In Emerson's essay he varies between Christianity and Atheist.
