Quote #4
When I came back from the university, I told her that I didn't believe anymore and I didn't want her to try forcing it on me. (13.8)
It's really interesting that Tante Lou respects this pact, because she is a force to be reckoned with. She's able to make Grant go to the Pichots', visit Jefferson, talk to Miss Emma. But she doesn't even try to make Grant reconsider his atheism.
Quote #5
He was not educated, hadn't gone to any theological school; he had heard the voice and started preaching. He was a simple, devoted believer. He christened babies, baptized youths, visited those who were ill, counseled those who had trouble, preached, and buried the dead. (13.61)
This description of the Reverend Ambrose shows not only his role in the community, which is pretty important (hatch, match, and dispatch) but also the lack of importance that a formal education has in that role.
Quote #6
Backsliders were usually worse than those who had never been converted. At least that is what people like him tried to make you believe. (13.65)
By "backsliders" Grant means people who were once faithful followers of the religion but who had, at some point in their life, rejected it and slid backwards (right into Hell, according to a lot of devout believers).
