BE


I know that wasn't even an answer to your question, but man that album...

yeah, it seems that there is a more jaded view of mainstream religion in prog (again see: BE!). I don't know how,  but people seem to take sub-themes in stride more easily when they are laced in long. long bits of music

I generally prefer humanistic topics. The most spirituality I can get without taking notice and having it alter my perception of the artist/music is Pain of Salvation's BE or typical Jon Anderson lyrics.
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

Exactly... I do not care what Sabbath lyrics say neither Black Widow's, if the music makes me have some fun, that's more than just fine to me.
The same as Yes and Flower Kings, even though I may read the lyrics as curiosity, the meaning on me is rather worthless.

With prog covering such complex and varied lyrical subjects as it does, the topic of religion is one that appears here more often than in your run-of-the-mill genres. Do you find the appearance of theistic or atheistic views more often in prog? What are your favorite treatments of either side?
