The Old Religion is a novel by American playwright and writer David Mamet, published in 2003. The story is based on the real case of Leo Frank, a Jew unjustly accused of the murder of a young employee in his factory in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1913. Mamet explores themes such as anti-Semitism, injustice, and identity in the context of early 20th-century American society. The novel offers a reflection on the prejudices and intolerance that persist in society, and how these can lead to the destruction of innocent lives.
