With his newfound Christianity, Robinson is never entirely alone on his island, because he can converse with God through prayer. Moreover, Christianity offers Robinson a way to make sense of his life and its various twists and turns.Designating the reli- gion of everyone except himself, Crusoe oddly omits his own reli- gious identity. He is Protestant, and it is from this religious identity that he offers the tolerant norm, «Liberty of conscience».In other words, the story throughout deals with sin and repentance and the misery of human beings in between. In this sense, it can be argued that the story of Robinson Crusoe is no more than an allegory of the spiritual life of humanity embodied in the character of Robinson Crusoe.
Was Defoe religious : Defoe was well known for his didacticism, with most of his works aiming to convey a message of some kind to the readers (typically a moral one, stemming from his religious background). Connected to Defoe's didacticism is his use of the genre of spiritual autobiography, particularly in Robinson Crusoe.
Is Robinson Crusoe a religious book
The novel is viewed today as a “spiritual autobiography” illuminating Christianity. Shipwrecked on a deserted island (alone until he encounters cannibals and their victims), Crusoe is haunted by isolation, despair, and then an illness.
Why did Robinson Crusoe pray : Robinson thought that it was the footprint of a savage. He became afraid that the savage would come to him with other savages and kill him. And therefore he began to pray for his safety.
He was Whiggish politically, but like many in his era Defoe did not want to be identified with any one political party and wrote in support of more than one side on many issues. He supported freedom of religion and freedom of the press. The fact that Crusoe believes God can give and take a man's life shows how committed he is towards Christianity. Another example of Crusoe professing his faith in Christianity is seen when he thanks God for letting him come upon on the island safely.

When Crusoe finally encounters the native islanders, he rescues Friday (named after the day of the week). Crusoe feels that his part now is to bring about Friday's conversion to Christianity, “lay a foundation of religious knowledge”, and displace the “heathenish” religion his servant was raised in.Christianity and Divine Providence
In the beginning of the novel, Robinson disregards Christianity and leads a life that he later looks back on as wicked. He discounts his father's warning that God will not bless him if he goes to sea, and does not thank God when he is rescued from the storm on the way to…In the eyes of Robinson Crusoe, a Christian, God is the supreme representative of justice and civilization, so he persuades Friday to give up his original belief and adopt correct notions of Christian doctrine.
