Willy, if you're going to be a troll, at least be an accurate one. Bruce is Christian (Church of England), but not terribly active any more. He was never devout, and to his credit only a couple of his songs are overtly Christian, although his spiritual beliefs certainly "leak through" into his music. So, in the past, has his interest in Taoism and Zen, so I guess you'd have to call him an ecumenical songwriter. :-) Here's one of the Zen songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35YMW_hpp6Y And here's what he thinks of *some* of his fellow Christians, and the things they do, say, and believe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GUiGz_6Y7g
