Songs of Innoncence and Experience

Although William Blake is very critical of hypocracy in church, his poems are still strongly religious. I find it interesting that Blake is strict with religious doctrine, but still questions God's station and actions. He questions the human condition (which he portrays, for the most part, misrable after childhood) and existance of evil. The religious symbolism for Songs of Innocence and Experience is strong, probably because Blake struggles with theological issues through his work.
