Ecumenism

From the wiki: Although "Spirit in the Sky" is considered by many to be a Jesus rock song with a heavily Christian theme, Greenbaum was and still is a practicing Jew. He was inspired to write the song after observing a preacher on television.

Inspired by The Culture War Is Over.

As a 70's Jesus Freak, I always considered the song faux-Christian. Still do. Nice garage-band bass, though.

AVI,

I think he was making fun of that of Plastic Jesus kind of Christianity.

So the joke was on them. And he made some money off it too.
