Why is this song banned?

I am glad it was banned! I am a big fan of Diamond Rio but they crossed the line with that one not ALL Americans are freaking Christian! they make it sound like anyone who is not Christian is not a true American and that is a bunch of bullshyt! us "non belieivers" love our country just as much as the freaking Christian ones

I have to kind of agree with wonttakelong. Yes, this country was founded by Christians, but this is far from a Christian country anymore when you have such a mixture of religions here now and one has to respect those people whose religion isn't Christian nor believe in "God" per se If radio stations that are predominantly Christian oriented or maybe even country/western type fine they can play the song there but not on a mainstream radio station

I listened to the Rio Diamond song. I much prefer Lee Greenwood's "Proud To Be An American." Lee doesn't question anyone's faith or lack thereof. He doesn't talk about how America is going to the dogs. He simply says I love America and I will stand with you to defend her. He says "If I lost everything I owned today, I know that as long as our American flag is standing, I am still free and that is what counts." As an American, how can you argue with that? You gotta stand with him. As free Americans, we can do anything. I don't care who you are or what your other beliefs are. We may disagree on the particular war, but for sure we will stand with our military men. That is a song I can get behind. Whoever told you "Still In God We Trust" was banned from the airways had their facts all wrong. Please see the following link: http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/diamondrio.asp. Snopes is very good at ferreting out the hoaxes and separating the facts from the fiction. In summary, "In God we still trust" (1) was never released as a single (a must for it to receive radio air time) and (2) did not receive substantial backing from Daywind (the company that released it). By the time it was released, it had to compete with Toby Keith's "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue", Carrie Underwood's "Jesus Take the Wheel" and a few other popular, tunes in high demand by the fickle public. As you are a fan of Rio Diamond, you may want to purchase their "Greatest Hits Volume 2" with "Still In God We Trust", "Redneck Love Gone Bad" and several other fine tunes I'm sure you will love. I'm just know you want to do the right thing and get a "legal" copy of your favorite "Still In God We Trust" song so you can burn a CD or play it on your Ipod.

I don't know why this song was ban from the radio it's a beautiful song but could it be that so many think that it's to much about god.....We still have in god we trust on our money but guess christians don't have any rights any more...But if you have listened to some of the songs with the f word in every other line they will play them every day....

I got this song in an e-mail about this matter a year or so ago. I don't know why it was never released or how it came to be banned, but it's a shame. The song is wonderful. It is hard for me to believe radio stations in the Bible Belt wouldn't even play it. Maybe since all stations wouldn't take it, they decided it was alll or nothing. I think it would be a hit in my state.

The intolerance is so tangible. I especially like the comment that 'allows' this song to be played on a Christian station. Gee, thanks. What else will they let us do, or say. If a song is gonna be banned, the ban should be coming from the FCC or somewhere similar (I wouldn't agree with it or them,btw). But for sissy radio station owners to just bow down to the Politically Correct Bullies is just absurd. People should protest with their ears and tuner fingers. Personally, I don't like country music and didn't care for the song. But I'm all for people expressing themselves. The idea of this song being 'banned' for what it is saying disgusts me.

I love this song and I beleive probably over a year ago I put it here lol MIndssssssssssssss
