It’s so funny how people say “this is disrespecting religion” did your religion ever attempt to validate homosexuality once? No, that’s why he wrote this. Stop acting like your religion actually respects him for what he is

[@Addie_On_Stage11]

That’s not what this songs abt Bad religion is about unrequited love. Frank loves this person so much to the point where he worships him but the other person doesn't feel the same way. He can't accept that and is desperate to change his feelings towards him. Hence why it's a bad religion. ("It's a bad religion to be in love with someone who could never love you").
