What was Raymond Chandler’s religion?
I don’t know, but his mom was Irish - perhaps Catholic?
Perhaps, however in a timeline of his life in the Library of America edition of his works it says he attended Church of England services when he was in Britain as a child.
According to Chapter 1 of this Chandler biography, both his parents were lapsed Quakers.
After his parents divorced, his mother brought him back to Ireland. Her family considered themselves Anglo-Irish & were quite anti-Catholic. But his mother insisted he not be brought up as a Quaker.
Interesting stuff…
