A Thought On “Religion”

Well, two thoughts actually. Both quotes below were found online, with unknown sources and prompted a discussion with a friend.

The song became immensely popular in Christian worship settings and even won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song. Ligertwood described the songwriting process as happening in a small cubicle in Sydney over a few days
