Ian, in contrast to many well-known rock ‘n’ roll songs such as the Rolling Stones, “Sympathy for the Devil,” or AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell,” a number of your songs, e.g., “Salvation,” or “Something to Believe In,” are positive about religion. Since I don’t think you would consider yourself a particularly religious person why do you think your songwriting about religion is unique and positive?
