The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Why does Twain suggest that having the king and the duke pull their first "con" at a religious revival? (This might've been asked. If so, it's desperate. If not Okay!)

Please help me. add any details from the text to support your answer.

"Twain suggests that there is an undercurrent of nastiness to these two characters. They perform their con-job in a sacred place of worship. Although Huck doesn't care much for organized religion, he recognizes the symbolism of what they are doing."
