I believe when Bianca and Sierra are making reference to Jesus and religion they are trying to make an up roar or statement about it. More so, actually mocking religion and how people think of God. Or in softer words, making people think about things.
But, if it IS on the other hand and they are very religious, (which sometimes I find myself questioning back to myself) then, that would mean some of their music would be racist, sexist, very offensive and, actually, against everything I love and have learned about CocoRosie.
I've always thought that they sing and write about things that have happened to them and horrible things that are happening to others. I've always loved them because they sung about their sexual abuse, the abuse of women in marriges, the wrongfulness of sexist traditional roles in marriage and how all those things are wrong and that people should think about these things more, maybe even do something about it. But, if they are religous I do believe it goes against a lot of the mockery that they make in a lot of their songs like By Your Side
'I just wanted to be your housewife
All i wanted was to be your housewife
I'll iron your clothes
I'll shine your shoes
I'll make your bed
And cook your food'
--Always thought this part was about the wrongfulness of forced traditional roles in marrige
And then the next line
'I'd wear your black eyes'
--About marital abuse
Or Jesus Loves Me
'Read your bible good and well
Don't forget about that apple spell
Don't fall in the wishing well
Wishing for heaven and gettin' hell
Wash behind your ears don't smell
Cover them freckles don't ask don't tell
Kiss your papa but not too long
Hold his hand
Don't do no wrong
Jesus loves me
But not my wife
Not my nigger friends
Or their nigger lives
But jesus loves me
Dat for sure
'Cause the bible tell me so'
--Mockery against racism and how some christians feel they need to be in order to be accepted in the christian religion.
I'm pretty sure all of their "religious" songs are sarcastic and meant to portray the stupidity of certain beliefs/ lifestyles that are racist/ homophobic/ sexist.

For example in this song it says " and jesus said they're girl's best friend and hell they'll last forever" and jesus said "now take her hand and raise this harlot's bastard sun"

obviously jesus, as most christians see him, wouldn't say "hell" call a girl a harlot (prostitute) or say "bastard". it makes jesus kind of sound like a redneck. Which leads me to assume that cocorosie believes people...

I think cocorosie do believe in god, but not a god that would hate so many minority groups.

So what the hell?
I'm pretty sure all of their "religious" songs are sarcastic and meant to portray the stupidity of certain beliefs/ lifestyles that are racist/ homophobic/ sexist.
