"One of Us" is a song written by Eric Bazilian (of The Hooters) and originally released by Joan Osborne.The song deals with various aspects of belief in God by asking questions inviting the listener to consider how they might relate to God, such as "Would you call [God's name] to his face?" or "Would you want to see [God's face] if seeing meant that you would have to believe?" The name of the song comes from the question contained in the refrain, "What if God was one of us?"Released in March 1995 on the album Relish (produced by Rick Chertoff), it hit the top 40 in November of the same year. With this song, Osborne received one of many Grammy nominations in 1995, including Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, but failed to win. One year later Prince covered the song for his 'Emancipation' LP.Around January 1996, "One of Us" hit the top 10. Finally in March of 1996 "One of Us" climbed to #1 on Rock On The Net's ARC Weekly Top 40 and stayed there for 2 weeks. Its peak chart position on the Billboard Hot 100 was #4.

That said, the song is quite beautiful, and despite it being a religious song, I am quite fond of it.

I am an atheist, and I make no claim to know absolutely that God does not exist; rather, from what I've seen and heard, I feel the evidence is on the side of there not being a God. Thus, my conclusion (by no means a claim to know for sure) is that God does not exist.I don't see how that is unscientific in the slightest.

This human voices an OPINION

Totally agree. And not only that, but atheists are unscientific. We can have no certain knowledge about anything but our own existence. To say that there is definitely no God is to take a position that cannot be proven. That makes atheism a belief, or even a faith, sort of like Christianity or Islam! Agnostics rock! ;-)))

i never noticed how much the singer is trying to actually speaking out against religion. she seems sarcastic with her lyrics.
