Dover Beach Poem Questions :)

1.) He says that the knowledge of science is increasing while the belief of religion is decreasing. 

2.) Dover Beach adds to Frankenstein because in Frankenstein the main characters were dealing with having faith in their religion or having faith in science to make something come back to life.

3.) I think Arnold is saying that because of the increase of knowledge that we have in the science department, our idea of religion has vanished. Our country was founded upon "Under God," and now these words are in a way meaningless because people are starting to not care about religion. Humans' views have changed a lot since back in the day. It used to be that everyone was concerned about their religious beliefs and now, it's like no one cares anymore.
