"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.

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

Personally when I say religion sucks it applies to most religions. Christianity probably takes the blunt of it since I live in a predominantly christian country, but I don't discrimiate, ignorance is ignorance whatever name it's given

Hey, I have a question: When you people or people in general say "religion sucks" or "fuck religion", are you really targeting Christianity? I deffinatly could be wrong, but I've just been wondering that.

Sackari, what is wrong with you? By saying "Agnostics are people who are weakminded", you are proving that the only one who is "weakminded" is YOU. An agnostic is someone who doesn't necessarily believe in God, but doesn't completely deny the possibility that there is a God. You may not have the same views on religion and/or God as someone who is agnostic, but you can't be ignorant to the fact that there are other viewpoints out there that differ from your own. And don't judge people.

Agnostic are people who are weakminded.
