ABBA: Atheist music???

RichardDawkins.net links to a decent article by the dude from ABBA talking about how Sweden should keep religion out of its schools, even the independent ones. Aside from a rather depressing question implied by this article's very existence (if freaking Sweden has to worry about religious indoctrination in schools, what hope do we have in America?) I have to say that the first paragraph kinda cracked me up:

Without thinking too much about it at the time, when I wrote the lyrics for Abba's songs the message I wished to convey tallies well with campaigns launched recently by humanist organisations in the UK, US and Australia:

"There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."

Whozawhatnow?!

Heh, okay, after I thought about it, I see what his point is: He was focusing on the "stop worrying and enjoy your life" part of the phrase, and sees ABBA's simple dance- and party-oriented lyrics as an extension of this. I guess I see his point. Still, it sorta tickles my funny bone to think of "Dancing Queen" as some kind of humanist anthem. heh...
