Another theme of Lovecraft’s was that of degeneration. He often wrote about human beings degenerating to rat-like creatures, living in warrens, sewers and burrows.

Often, the leaders and practitioners of absolutist religions were unable to perceive any middle ground or recognize that the truth might draw upon and embrace apparently contradictory doctrines.
