Whether or not punk is the flavor of the month is not important for us. Bad Religion has been popular through many different climates. When heavy metal was popular, when new wave was popular, Bad Religion was still there underneath the mainstream selling more and more records.

Whether you reach a lot of people or have a profound impact on a few people, their memories of you are your afterlife.

I want some fact-based evidence about where we came from. Things we consider mysterious need not be attributed to a deity.

One of our great thematic traditions in Bad Religion has been to question human nature.

I don't believe, for instance, that evolutionary biology or any scientific endeavor has much to say about love. I'm sure a lot can be learned about the importance of hormones and their effects on our feelings. But do the bleak implications of evolution have any impact on the love I feel for my family? Do they make me more likely to break the law of flaunt society's expectations of me? No. I simply does not follow that human relationships are meaningless just because we live in a godless universe subject to the natural laws of biology.

I'm trying to champion the naturalist's worldview and show it's not as heathen as most religious people would make it out to be.
