I don’t understand these comics. Are they pro religion? Are they anti-religious satire?
The first comic seems to both warn against satan and attack religion. It might be talking about all religions but the right one.
The second comic is even more confusing. First it seems to associate education and the theory of evolution in particular with satan. But then it seems to associate rejection of education with punks who aren’t necessarily known for their religiosity.
The third comic, finally, is pretty clear, painting wealth and entertainment (sports) as detractions from religion. This could technically still be satire though.
It looks like a Chick Tract, and these panels would be part of a larger work. They’re dumb, but completely serious. Popular with fundies, and if you’re not careful you might find one on your desk at work. (I have, lol).
There is definitely an anti-Catholic sentiment in some of them, so that’s probably what the frame in the first clip is getting at.
