Fahrenheit 451 uses fire as a connection to religion by the uses of symbolism, it symbolizes the religious presence in society . Fire, particularly is used in this novel as connected to the biblical story of when moses runs into a burning bush in the mountains and God speaks to him.

Fahrenheit 451 connection to puritanism.
Fahrenheit 451 has a strong connection to puritanism. The novel contains many illusions to stories of the bible. Fahrenheit 451 used the story where hrist changed water into wine at a party because they ran out of wine. In the novel, Faber personifies himself as "water" and Montag personifies himself as "fire" which I will discuss the imporance about in the later paragraph. These many miracles displayed Jeseus faith in the role of christianity this connects to Montag's dynamic character type and transformation throughout the novel.
