The Test and Corporation Acts required membership in the Church of England for anyone seeking public office. This cartoon is a satire on the efforts of Charles James Fox to get those Acts repealed. In it, Joseph Priestley, preaching, speaks for the concerns of the clergy, stating their opposition to "Reynard and Associates" (Fox and others). Fox asks, "Pray, Doctor is there such a thing as a Devil?" to which Priestley responds with a resounding "NO." The Devil, standing amid flames, is about to skewer Priestley.

In 1879 he stated that he had never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of a God, and that generally "an Agnostic would be the more correct description of my state of mind."
