provide evidence from the text of ''narrative of the life of fredrick douglass'' that supports this main idea: hypocrisy in religion is used to justify slavery. clearly explain how the evidence you found supports the main idea. me . i'm struggling on this question.

Truth: Douglass got in some trouble for attacking the hypocrisy of Christians in the South,but he never once backed away from that attack. Since his friends in the abolitionist movement were also Christians some of them thought he was attacking them instead of just the religious impostors. This passage tries to clarify this issue and is explaining that his harsh criticism was not of all religion, but only for slave owners who pretended to be Christians and since it was impossible to be a true Christian and also own slaves. (In fact,he wrote the entire appendix just to explain that he was against hypocrites,not just the religion itself.)
