By saying ‘God’s face is hidden’ the lyricist is obviously not atheist. He’s acknowledging the existence of a god but is angry God’s antipathy towards the evils mankind inflicts upon itself. He never steps in, he never helps. So we’re left with abiding by the golden rule ‘treat others how you want to be treated.’ Unfortunately most people now live by the ‘treat others how you are treated’ rule. It’s no wonder God was never on our side.
@cosette197672 right. The light of reason is what the philosoophy of Jefferson and many other founding fathers and others called Deism.. Deism acknowledges God's existence but that He created the world and universe then spun the top and let it go on its own. Thus the seasons, rain, weather even war are not made by him but its a reasoned belief and the "light of reason" was their mantra.
