Quote #1
And if our God judges us by our deeds, you will one day be the patron of some great city, while I shall be, at most, a village saint. (1.4.1)
Valmont and Merteuil are religious: they worship themselves.
Quote #2
You cannot imagine the fuss she has made ever since, and how edified she is by my regular attendance at prayers and at Mass. She has no suspicion of the nature of the divinity I go to worship. (1.4.4.)
