Although not considered prog (but enjoyed by THIS prog listener) is Juno Reactor's "God is God" -- especially for the vocals of Natacha Atlas, who does some incredible one-breath, sustained runs a full 6 measures long...

Not only "My God" but most of Tull's music of that era had some criticism to religion. a Passion Play, War Child, etc. all have a song or more that express Ian anderson's point of view on religion.

Somewhere but Yesterday by Citizen Cain is quite an oddball religious prog song if you ask me.

Because, even though it's filled with biblical references and religious imagery, it's essentially a "protest song" against the hypocrisy and oppression of the Christian Church, particularly its stance on witchcraft.

Me too. Here is one you might enjoy. As for non-prog, XTC - "Dear God" and John Lennon "Imagine" are excellent.

My God, I'd completely forgotten about that song, even though I have the Aqualung album in my CD collection. Embarrassed

^ BJH's Live version of Hymn is worth it just to hear the audience joining in at the end of every chorus with a celebratory "Yeah". Handshake

Here's another religious Live favourite from Barclay James Harvest - after the 30-second countdown. Smile

Altogether now..... 

Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side
You stand up there with your head in the clouds
Don't try to fly you know you might not come down
Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down

Yeah!!


You hit a sweet spot for me, Paul.  Barclay James Harvest is one of the rare prog bands where I prefer live albums. SBB would be another. Wink
