** Somewhere along the line, the writers at Conservapedia decided that "Glory Hallelujah" was intended as a refutation of atheists, apparently based on the line "there never was no God", and placed it on their list of "Great Conservative Rock Songs". Unfortunately they don't seem to have listened to the rest of the song (much less the rest of Frank's discography), which makes it apparent that the singer thinks God is a lie, religion is toxic and atheism is freedom.
