   When Sarah McLachlan covered the XTC song Dear God   
   she sang it with feeling.   So I am wondering if she   
   was an atheist at the time or if she is now an   
   atheist?  She hasn't been very forthcoming about   
   her religious beliefs; maybe she doesn't want to   
   alienate any subset of her fan base.   
      
   "I won't believe in heaven and hell.   
   No saints, no sinners, no devil as well.   
   No pearly gates, no thorny crown.   
   You're always letting us humans down.   
   The wars you bring, the babes you drown.   
   Those lost at sea and never found,   
   And it's the same the whole world 'round.   
   The hurt I see helps to compound   
   That Father, Son and Holy Ghost   
   Is just somebody's unholy hoax   
   And if you're up there you'd perceive   
   That my heart's here upon my sleeve.   
   If there's one thing I don't believe in.....   
      
   It's you.....   
   Dear God."
