I really enjoy this song for it's positive take on the absence of religion. It's not just saying he doesn't believe in God, it's saying he doesn't find the need to. "I don't know to know why the ocean's blue or the flowers grow." It's pretty obvious what we is trying to say, and the upbeat music is definitely a contributor to the meaning. =) He doesn't feel the need to have some higher power explain the beauty of the world. Also, he knows that believing in God won't save him from misery and problems...He'll still be faced with life. While even there's a negative verse, it says "it's something I'm learning to embrace." These are really words I live by...He is embracing the misery and pain that he's given, he doesn't feel the need to pray to make it go away, he's just found a way to live with it. =) I adore this song.<3
