This is a cover of The Louvin Brothers tune "The Great Atomic Power," from 1952, not an "old religious hymn." If you grew up during the Cold War you probably wouldn't think the lyrics so "ridiculous." The Louvins were strict Christians, and this song was written and sung by them with great conviction. If you have never heard the Louvins, I suggest you get their CD "When I Stop Dreaming." Some of the songs are religious in nature, but others are not. Plus these guys could do close harmony like nobody else.
