In "Gulliver's Travels," Swift seems critical of the religious dispute between English Catholics and Protestants, highlighting the absurdity of their conflict. He portrays their religious differences as trivial in the face of broader human folly and societies' more pressing issues. Swift's satire ultimately suggests that intolerance and fanaticism in religious disputes are counterproductive and detrimental to society.
