The song American Pie by Don Mclean is Secular Humanist. It explains how God is gone and how music has taken Jesus's place. There is no way to be saved. Here are the six worldview characteristics:
- God and the Universe- God is gone. "The father, son, and the holy ghost, They caught the last train for the coast." He does not exist any more.
- Humanity and Identity- Humans have no control over the universe, chance rules
- Conflict and Suffering- The music has died and the people looked to music to save them.
- Hope and Redemption- "The jester stole his thorny crown." Christ is no longer our hope and redemption, but music is. Unfortunately, the music has now also died.
- Values and Relationships-"And if I knew if I had my chance That I could make those people dance And, maybe, they'd be happy for a while." This means make the most of life while you live. Happiness is important in life.
- Truth and Reality-Music cannot save you, You cannot be saved.
