Creepy though.
When I die and they lay me to rest,
I’m going to go to the place that’s the best.

I’m an atheist, but Norman Greenbaum’s “Spirit In The Sky” is a banger.
Otherwise yeah, this meme nails it.

I actually looked up the song after I commented. Apparently Norman is Jewish and wrote the song after watching a gospel performance and said “Hey, I could do that.” He then wrote the lyrics in 15 minutes…

That’s so stupid it’s hilarious. That’s the kind of lyric I would write if I was making fun of Christian music.

I also like some religious music, I think the key is I don’t want to feel like I’m being browbeaten with it.
At the risk of turning this into a “not religious, but…” music recommendation thread: I’ve enjoyed mewithoutYou for a long time now. They have a subdued art-rock sound, and I even enjoy a lot of their more overtly religious songs like “In a Sweater Poorly Knit” and “The King Beetle On A Coconut Estate.”
