like you say, maybe it's an 'age' thing, because I didn't find either of those irreligious! Just alternative :D
And on the 'age' thing - these days I don't think ANY opinions on what may or may not have happened 2000 years ago would surprise me.
In fact I 'think' that what caused unrest about Jesus Christ Superstar was the fact that he WAS portrayed as a man and not God. But then I always took my religious learning, where I was taught that Jesus was the Son of God, to mean that we (including him) were ALL God's Children. I never, ever took it to mean that Jesus, himself, was God.
But then I never asked anyone if my thoughts on the matter were in line with the Christian beliefs, so ...... what do I know?!
