20 religious songs – 27
mon, 2 june, '03
max weber describes religion as any institution or organization that deals with the numinous or unknown.
 this is the sense in which I have included songs in this coding, including some of those songs dealing with the great unknown, death, ritual, and mourning songs.
 also included are songs of institutional altruism, which is a sacred duty, responsibility (zygmunt bauman) that service personnel perceive and pursue.
 only the songs are included in this collection, I have written else where of the myth, legend, ritual still maintain at the institutional level in anglo-celtic services.
 where appropriate to 'fill in'the picture being created I have inserted myth from slavic, buddhist, jewish, and islamic services, as the collective institutional military histories are similar, except that, while some institutional histories run parallel, indeed, use same 'source' material, the institutional histories diverge at different periods of time.
 anglo-celtic songs follow from pagan to christian mythology, jewish, pagan jewish, islamic, buddhist and slavic, similar.
 some of the songs in this coding are known to anglo-celtic folklore, and are accepted to have origins in pagan mythology;
 most however, are perceived as such only within the military community.
 the songs are:
