Part of me is hoping Iām nodium so I can go to sleep.

Ok, here we go
Category: A song about religion/spirituality by a ānon-religiousā artist/group
Some general notes:
This took so long because you all did SO well! I didnāt dislike any of these songs, and it made ranking them a terrible chore. If I could, I would give everyone 5 points and be done with it. Well, the top 2 were standouts, but the rest? Really good and fitting.
I got a bunch of different genres, and only one song I instantly recognized, and one I realized I knew after I heard the first few lines. The rest were new to me and all of them fit the category.
So if you nodium in this category, please rest assured that itās only because my hand was forced, and I had to put the songs somewhere. Iām not lying when I say that 9th-3rd place are interchangeably good, and they all moved around as I listened.
With that, letās go to church!

This will guaranteed be a drop score for me.
In 9th place for 1 point:
B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) by GZA, Killah Priest
I like rap that tells a personal story. This is one of three rap songs that got submitted and I really like the beat. The lyrics are a tiny bit problematic for me (gets into the toxic āhotepā messaging, as well as some lines that dance really close to anti-Semitic and anti-muslim tropes), and thatās the only reason itās in 9th. Still, his personal journey and the message about the lies organized religion can tell is compelling.

Not last!
In 8th place for 2 points:
The Master Plan by Oasis
I had a feeling someone would send me this. Not gonna lie, this is one of the few songs by Oasis that I really like. Itās down here because it is so familiar to me. It just didnāt stand out against the new stuff I was sent. I had to put it somewhere, and thatās here. Itās a great song, and this live performance is pretty iconic.

Holy shit I did not see that coming. That was my joker.
As a side note, Killah Priest (the rapper) is a Black Israelite.
Liking the beat and lyrics but still last is weird as fuck.
