Thread Name: Atheist Hymnal
Subject: RE: Atheist Hymnal
I almost posted a link to Thanksgiving Eve in the DT last night but gave up on the thread when it looked like it was going to get completely side-tracked into another flame war about beliefs. Bob Franke is religious - not sure if he's a Quaker. His songs, however, aren't just for people of his faith. They pull people in - they DO NOT shut them out. Most of these songs are about that bright spark in the human spirit some call God and others call "that bright spark in the human spirit." In any group of folks singing the same song, that song is going to mean something different to each and every one.

Nobody mentioned "Lean on Me" yet.
