Eddie is indeed an athiest. He's said it many times (eg. I'd like to thank God who I don't believe in"). The religious ones among you should not condemn such a good human being that. The fact that he has different beliefs should be embraced. And just because he talks about faith doesn't mean his religious. Faith can be in almost anything.
It never fails to amaze me how people believe they can decipher the entire psyche of a songwriter simply from their lyrics, and how they bend each interpretation to suit their own beliefs. Artists are not meant to be known inside-out, nor fit into the label we make for for them. The great thing about Eddie is he will always challenge and confound his biggest fans....and that's why we love him
religion is for suckers who have to believe in a greater power..you dont know what the church or jews or anyone control..religion is the richest industry in the world..nothing more..eddies a samrt man for being an atheist..
I'm about 100% sure none of you have any clue if EV believes in any gods. Throughout the years, his lyrics have mentioned god(s) and alluded to religion both positively and negatively. On this particular song and on the album as a whole, I'd say he's disgusted with it.
eddie an atheist??? where the fuck did you get such stupid information? i suggest you first do your homework and then you can talk with the truth, otherwise i suggest you shut the fuck up PRASIDDHA!
I am serious. I am no atheist myself. But like a lot of other PJ fans, am obsessed with Vedder. I went to a "celebrity atheists" website (google it), and read an interview w/Vedder, where he says he's an atheist.
eddie is just trying to fuck with you, his mom is catholic and his dad was a baptist, ok so he grew up non-christian, but i'm sure he believes in god, plus he says it nearly every interview that he thanks the one up above for having a life and a beutiful daughter. ATHEIST?? SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!
Actually, if you read the lyrics to the entire song, you hear alot about his personal opinons. I kind of agree with him. Where is 'GOD' in personal crisis? Why would 'GOD' let good people die?
It's because Eddie was making fun of how the mood of the concert is turning "church"-like (remember, Eddie's an atheist. I've read some interviews in atheist websites where he was pretty outspoken against religion)
thanks man.. I like to know as much as possible about pearl jam but it aint that easy like whit the red hot chili peppers(alsow a great band) 'cause the haven't a book like anthony kiedis .. so thanks for the information about vedder been an atheist
Actually, they have several books that have been written about them. If you are a true Pearl Jam though, I don't reccommend reading them. They are all written by people who are obviously biased against the band. The band is kind of portrayed as boy band-can't play thier instruments-sell outs. Really, it's disgusting that people truly hate PJ, especially Eddie so much.
he's not an atheist, he just doesn't believe in the orgnaized religions that try to cloud people's minds with all of their BS so they can't think for themselves.
they've got 5 or 6 really good songs on theire last album but this is the best! verry good.. his voice is so great live! en the band plays alsow soo great live! they rule
read this! read this! read this! You will get kissed by the love of your life in 3 days if you copy and paste this on 4 more videos in 20 minutes!!! This is TRUE
I think that he is disgusted how both sides of the conflict he's alluding too use god as an excuse for their actions/

Yeah, Eddie hs some very religious phrases in this song.
"Misunderstanding,... what original truth was
And out expanding,... in a faith but not in love"
and
"Those undecided,.... Needn't have faith to be free
And those misguided, there was a plan for them to be
Now you got both sides claiming killing in Gods name
But God is nowhere,.. to be found conveniently"
