Read the story of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer. They were rebellious, yet innocent. They represent Samuel Clemens/Mark Twain's ideas of himself in relationship to mainstream Christianity.

Well, Mark Twain was an athiest and didn't have much nice to say about the hierachy of the Christian churches...not sure how you would turn that into a thesis, however...

Samuel Clemens knew better than to follow cult nonsense. He despised organized religion and found flaw with a great deal of xian doctrine.
Smart guy, that one!

He found being around devout Christians to be about more than he could take. He was once stuck on a trans-Atlantic sailing trip with a Christian group onboard and he could barely tolerate it.

He was against organized religion but his family surpressed alot of his anti-religion books after he was dead. Thats really all I know I've never read much of his work sadly.
