Who in Ireland could have too much respect for organized religion?
We've seen it tear our country in two.
My mother was a Protestant. My father was a Catholic.
And I learned that religion is often the enemy of God, actually.
Religion is the artifice,
you know, the building, after God has left it sometimes,
like Elvis has left the building.
You hold onto religion,
you know, rules, regulations, traditions.
I think what God is interested in is people's hearts,
and that's hard enough.
