RELIGION
The main scene concerning religion is the scene with Ku Klux Klan. The 3 main characters saw that the KKK wanted to hang their black friend Tony so they hit three men from the KKK, dressed up with their clothes and ran to save him but someone saw them and unmasked them, they launched a flag on Big Dan Teague who stopped it.
Then they cut a cross on fire and it fell on Big Dan Teague !!! The film showed a negative aspect of religion because it shows violent scenes like when they would hang black people Actually the Ku Klux Klan intended to prevent the black from voting so they used white robes and hoods , torture , lynching and murder.

Religion in O’Brother
Religion is essential in the US especially for the Amish. Besides, the motto in the USA is “In God we trust”.
In the film we can see two different scenes showing religion :
the scene with the pastor, it is a positive aspect of religion in this film they are redeemed when they are baptized
and the scene with the Ku Klux Klan, it is a negative aspect of religion.
