Personally Im not much for singing in the modern sense and have little interest in hymns that were written in the modern eraxa I find that many of them have questionable origins and debatable meaningsxa People like to add or change them to suit their own agendas tooxa Just out of curiosity since youre so concerned about the here and now what does oldtime religion mean to youxa also I found it interesting that according to wikipedia It was also sung by the crowd at the lynching of Leo Frank
