"Bad Religion" is a song by Godsmack. It served as the fourth single from their eponymous debut album.
According to vocalist Sully Erna, a practicing Wiccan, the song has an anti-abortion message. Erna says, "You don’t even know me, yet you’re deciding to kill me? Look, I’m here. I’m alive inside you. I can’t be ignored."
Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, radio conglomerate Clear Channel Communications issued the 2001 Clear Channel memorandum, a list of 150 songs Clear Channel recommended to be removed from airplay. "Bad Religion" was on the list.
The song was also remade by Dale Oliver as an entrance song for TNA tag team The Naturals.
The song was featured in ATV Quad Power Racing 2 for PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube. It was also featured in the 2003 film Mayor of the Sunset Strip.
