The Christians in The Crucible are very religious. They have no doubt that God is the inly one to be worshipped, and if anybody worshipped any other way, they were evil. These Christians live in Salem, with Indians living in the woods near them who they have tried to convert to Christianity. The success rate of these conversions was very low.
Since these woods are inhabited by these Indians who won't convert to Christianity, the Christians from Salem say that this forest "was the Devil's last preserve, his home base and the citadel of his final stand." The text also says that "to the best of their knowledge the American forest was the last place on earth that was not paying homage to God." This part of the book portrays how indulged these people of Salem were in their religion.they thought that if there were people who did not worship God, the Devil was making that happen.
