religion

[fly like a bird]

In the novel, Orwell does not really discuss or bring up religion. Does he believe that religion would not be as strongly practiced in 1984, not a big part of peoples lives as it was or is now? Or does he portray that the party doesn’t support religion and abolished it all together?

There is no reference to religion other than the fact that the poet is vaporized for leaving the word "God" in a poem.

That alone suggests strongly that any kind of faith has been "bled" out of these people.

From the Party's perspective, religion could have been seen as a threat. The idea that any worship of any being other than Big Brother was useless.

It's pretty clear that Orwell didn't see much use for religion.

If you look at it differently, there is a sort of religion in the novel. People do not worship God as most present religions do - but they technically worship Big Brother. Every single event that happens in the world is the result of BB's actions. The people link everything good to him, and everything bad to Goldstein. All real religion has been wiped out, but the people are still in favor of BB, though his existence can not be proven, just like the existence of other superbeings that people worship cannot be proven.

Exactly that. Traditional religion has been removed entirely.
