I am just going to comment of the "son of a pastor I know who does the things I do." Pastor's kids, or PKs in the Christian community have a reputation of rebelling from God. Andy has obviously not gone away from God, and most of his lyrics are inspired by God in some way. I think he might be making a point that is opposite of what it seems to most readers. I think he's saying that most pastor's kids are away from God, and he is not. Just an idea.
That's actually really helpful. I kinda thought this, but yeah, that's a very good way of putting it - which I think is more true than montyg12345's view; since most songs are indeed religious in some aspect.

@curbsquerl One thing though, is that so many of his songs are about his difficulty with his faith. Just off the top of my head, the lyric "Jesus don't come round unless we pray each day for 500 days" sung in an angry staccato, speaks of someone that isn't as close to god as you imply.
