"Bad Religion" first surfaced on Godsmack's 1997 record All Wound Up..., then resurfaced on the band's self-titled album and finally got its turn as a single in 2000, the fourth and last one pulled from that record.
It kept a darker footnote, too. After the September 11 attacks in 2001, Clear Channel circulated a memo listing songs it suggested its stations pull from the airwaves, and "Bad Religion" was one of the 150 titles on it.
