Atwood’s Portrayal of Religion in Gilead
Margaret Atwood uses biblical roots to create a religious motif throughout the novel, such biblical references enunciate Gilead’s strict Christian Puritan views. Gilead uses religion to manipulate its inhabitants into believing that the practices that occur in the state are all extracted from the Bible. Therefore, Atwood portrays religion as a form of control over the Gileadean citizens. Religion is a crucial part of everyday life in Gilead, Karl Marx called religion “the opiate of the masses,” Gilead is a religious state in which state and religion are intertwined - making Gilead a theocracy - and are considered the same; its official vocabulary include religious terminology and biblical references. Domestic servants are called “Marthas” in reference to a domestic character in the New Testament in the Bible. The local police are “Guardians of the Faith”; Soldiers are “Angels”; and the Commanders are officially “Commanders of the Faithful.” All the stores have biblical names too: Loaves and Fishes, All Flesh, Milk and Honey. Even the automobiles have biblical names like Behemoth, Whirlwind, and Chariot. Using religious terminology to describe people, ranks, and businesses whitewashes political skullduggery in pious language. It provides an ever-present reminder that the founders of Gilead insist they act on the authority of the Bible itself. Politics and religion are the same in Gilead, where the slogan “God is a National Resource” predominates. The Bourgeoisie (Commanders) use religion to justify their own acts and reap the result. Religion is a tool to manipulate the other lower-ranking classes. The significance of the Gileadean police being labelled the “Guardians of the Faith” is that the Gileadean Institution expects the civilians to have utmost respect for the Police, even though they are simply just men who will not hesitate to shoot a Handmaid for the slightest act of deviance - further emphasising Gilead’s lack of morality toward the lives of women and such actions also exploit Gilead for not always perusing the Puritan values they preach. Similarly could be interpreted from the official names of the Commanders and Soldiers; “Commanders of the Faithful” and "Angels”. Both names suggest pure men with correct Christian values, whereas in reality, they exploit women and murder frequently - the opposite of what the Bible states. The importance of the store names originating from the Bible highlights the complete control Gildead holds over its populace with the use of Christian implications. So, with the constant use of Bible references, Gilead will always have an excuse to punish citizens severely for even the smallest deviances - by stating they are going against the Bible. Therefore, by “abusing” the belief in religion, Gilead is able to maintain complete control over its populace with the use of fear of punishment.
