Kenny from what I've read there is absolutely nothing bigoted in your post at all. I think Joe's comments were aimed more at leveller though in truth, though Leveller may have put it more diplomatically, there is also nothing very bigoted in believing that religion is mumbo jumbo etc and in expressing that view. In my opinion anyway.

I can see both points in that folk will read what they want in to lyrics and of course anyone can sing what song they want anyway. At the same time it is at least a valid point that if someone is looking for a religious song then there are lots of those about without trying to appropriate secular songs. If it is a secular song then yes it can appear on a Christian album because it is appropriated that way - but in that sense it is no more Christian than "Dirty Old Town" is Irish.
