"Brother can you see those birds? They don't look to heaven They don't need religion, they can see"

"I don't need a heaven I don't need religion I am in the place where I should be"

How exactly is this about finding god?

Delusional.

Okay, I actually agree with you, but just to play devil's advocate, so to speak: there is such thing as an unreliable narrator.
