O.K. Dragonrider -

Atheists aren't "part of a cult" as you say. Anyway, here is another interview reference which reflects David's atheism...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts....&page=3

& here is the quote:

"The theme of the new album - those Pink Floyd habits die hard - is mortality. One song, 'This Heaven', reflects Gilmour's atheism. 'There is an element of contended resignation in that song. It extols the virtues of living in the moment and accepting your mortality. Perhaps the closest I will get to immortality will be through Dark Side of the Moon. I think that record will go on being played for a while yet."

I'm not defending his atheism, I'm simply acknowledging it's a matter of public record now.

Is he a born again christain?

The reason why I ask is because of his last album. This Heaven mainly.

So break the bread and pour the wine
I need no blessings but I'm counting mine
Life is much more than money buys
When I see the faith in my children's eyes

I've felt the power in a holy place
And wished for comfort when in need
Now I'm here in a state of grace
This earthly heaven is enough for me

Dragonrider -

I'm afraid he is recently come out and stated he is an atheist. It was somewhere in the myriad interviews he was doing a year ago - I was shocked as well!! He does say "This earthly heaven is enough for me" after all...as if to say, "this is it". I'll try to back this up later with the actual reference.

gilmost :(

Yeah. That is what he is saying about an 'earthly heaven'. Saying that he is more satisfied with being in heaven on Earth than somewhere holy and sacred.

thankyou everyone for your help!

I really hope I can spot it. It'd be hard to miss it really, its HUGE!

It'd be even better if the man himself was there!

And I'll take some pictures and post them here if I do find it. :D

Mate I never said atheist were part of a cult You dim witted moron, I asked a simple question: got a reply: looked through the list provided: became interested and commented.

Almost every member of my family arte atheist!

What I was saying about Isaac Asimov (I'm assuming this is where you failed to see my observation) is that he used to be in a cult, I don't know if he shunned it or kept going...I merrily commented on the list.
