What are some (non-religious) songs that talk about religion? Links, history, anecdotes, whatever... are cool.

I'll start with

Imagine John Lennon


I will sometimes use this for teaching because his lyrics are so slow and the students can understand them.

How bout you all? Any religion in your non-religious music?

best,
sunshine

Clear all your sins
Get born again
Just repeat a couple lies

Does any body know the lyrics to America The Beautiful?

America is really a beautifully designed organization that allows people to have freedom from religion.

Religious people kneel and suck up to an invisible god. Religious people are pathetic! Nothing good will ever cum from an invisible god.

Ewe should learn to worship some thing REAL.

I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humor
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing


And Joan Osborne singing Eric Bazilian's If G*d was One of Us

I like that one too.

A friend told me it started playing on the car radio as he was driving to his dad's funeral.

I find it fascinating that a snippet of centuries-old liturgy became the refrain for a pop song.

"It's time you sucked the cock of the fire god!" is possibly one of my favourite lyrics ever.
