Cover art for Children of God lyrics by Swans

i mean the fact that the song title references a religious cult only further implicates the idea that the song is anti-religion. religious cults are typically recognized as sects of overly pious or brainwashed zealots who are blinded by their fanatic devotion and often act unreasonably and dangerously. cults are pretty much the symbol of religion gone wrong.

i think this song goes with the whole album's anti-religious message that religious texts and leaders are hypocritical at best and malicious at worst. the album really explores the contradictions and dangers of religion and this song caps it off nicely.
