Religion and Politics are another theme in Sexing the Cherry is that of religion and politics, both individually and as they are connected to one another. The Dog-Woman, in her narratives, frequently expresses faith in God. She also professes loyalty to the King of England and claims to be a Royalist. She does not feel that the sins she commits are morally wrong because she is working toward the greater good, and she is certain that God will forgive her on Judgment Day if her actions prove mistaken since her intent is pure.
