Exactly - this song isn't about religion, more about how people use religion to justify everything.
Hell, he has said that he is actually pro-religion and thinks that people should be more willing to accept the fact that not everyone believes the same things they do.
If you listen to his Live album, it sounds like he's Christian... He taught his son that Easter was Jesus' rise from the grave, although I'm pretty sure it's another Pagan holiday overlap. If he were atheist I should think he'd teach his son the truth of Jesus being a man and about Christians altering other religions' holidays to fit their desires...
To be more specific, based off of this song's lyrics is seems that Voltaire embraces some sort of form of pantheism. "God is everything" and such. But yeah, he's definitely atheist.
yay for social commentary. i love this song. having been raised in a very religous family (i myself am not religous) i see where this is all true. it's very interesting how much "true believers" try to skew things to what they want us to believe God says is truth. most who believe in a diety of some sort do this...not all but most
I found out about this guy about a month ago, and then I found out he apparently teaches a class at my College? Stop-motion animation, of all things! He's a Jack-of-all-trades. I guess I gotta drop-in on one of his classes before I graduate.
do not fret, pirate person. You can visit his site at voltaire.net and get information on how to buy his CD's, books, and other fun stuff. It's worth it.
5 people don't know what god thinks :3.

regardless of his religious orientation, this one of Voltaire's songs is all about being clear-headed.

I know that atheism is not a religion -_-
Thats why I said "what religion does he follow? is he atheist?" Meaning "or"
If I was gonna say it as a part of religion I would have just said "what religion does he follow?"

Voltaire is definately an original. Trivia: Did you know Voltaire is responsible for the cgi-based station IDs on Sci-Fi?
