Cover art for I Don't Wanna Pray lyrics by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

I have to differ on this one. It seems to me that they are actually criticizing people who think action alone is a good form of spirituality.

They are acknowledging the fact that good works are a key part of spirituality, but so is prayer. The lines "they say I don't wanna pray...Who don't wanna pray?" gave this me this idea of the song.
