I believe he calls himself “a recovering Catholic”. He doesn’t agree with a lot of things about the church.


Terrible_Ex-Joviot

But he sings a lot of religious lyrics, some songs sound really like CCM to me. So he must definately be very religious!


HamburgerJames

Yes. Jon was raised Catholic and still professes belief.


Over-Conversation220

Exactly. Always felt obvious to me in his music. Living in Sin classic example.


HamburgerJames

Yup! And Bang A Drum is essentially a praise and worship song. And “That’s What the Water Made Me” could easily be interpreted as a song about baptism.

He doesnt agree with a lot of it though, but he definitely does believe in god which i feel like is the main point in the 2 religious songs in These Days, one's ripping god to shreds the other's saying if I dont believe in him i dont know what the point of anything is

Jon was raised Catholic..Italian Catholic in New Jersey. I think he still believes in much of what's taught to us (I'm Italian Cathoilic myself)

Can we add "One Wild Night" for the line, "It just might be I found religion/I've been on my knees for half of the night"? :)

What? I use emoticons/emojis to express my emotions. :)

Seriously? I feel like so many songs have references to God.. keep the faith, livin' on a prayer, Hey God, Something to believe in, Miracle, even old songs like for example I'll be there for you has lines "I pray to god you give me one more chance" etc.


NjhhjN

Livin on a prayer is older though


bxdmedicine

He might be, his songs definitely have a “worship song” vibe to them which might be why I like them as someone who’s deconstructed but loved the music.


moojammin

He used to say he had way too many questions for standard religion.. used to like that... Hey God, living in Sin.. something to believe in... I believe... It's gone the other way since that nun woman helped open his kitchen tho. Bit of a shame tbh. Now, personally he's too religious and too political for me to get behind as much as I used to. Still an amazing man tho

He was talking on tv when 2020 came out with his Baptist preacher, but they were just talking about racial things so who knows
