Lyric discussion by stoutcarrot 

Greenbaum explicitly stated that it's just a simple song inspired by old Western movies. It's NOT religious satire, and it's NOT Christian praise music, despite all of you atheists wanting to claim it as your own. It's supposed to be spiritual so he chose Christianity because he had to choose something. It's NOT because he's Christian, and it's NOT because he's satiring religion. Get over yourselves
