Jules Siegel famously recalled that, during one evening in October, Wilson announced to his wife and friends that he was "writing a teenage symphony to God"

Some songs followed themes related to God and childhood, namely "Wonderful", "Child Is Father of the Man", and "Surf's Up".
Only "Wonderful" referred to God explicitly

Smile has been described by various commentators as a work of art pop, psychedelic rock[ avant-pop, progressive pop,experimental rock, folk rock, musique concrète, and Americana music

Smile (sometimes stylized as SMiLE) is an unfinished album by the American rock band the Beach Boys that was intended to follow their 1966 album Pet Sounds. 
According to Toop, during the mid-1960s, Wilson's style was akin to "cartoon music and Disney influence mutating into avant-garde pop"

It was to be an LP of twelve tracks assembled from modular fragments, the same editing process used for their "Good Vibrations" single. 
NOTES FROM  Domenic Priore :
He has written extensively about the Beach Boys' album Smile, including two books on the subject, Look! Listen! Vibrate! Smile! and Smile: The Story of Brian Wilson's Lost Masterpiece.
In 2011, he contributed to the liner notes of compilation album The Smile Sessions.
He has also published a number of books and articles on the greater Los Angeles area's youth culture during the 1960s, with special focus on the surf craze and the Sunset Strip music scene.
Priore worked as the primary writer and creative consultant on the AMC documentaries Hollywood Rocks the Movies: The Early Years (1955–1970) and Hollywood Rocks the Movies: The 1970s.
Domenic Priore (born January 15, 1960) is an American author, historian and television producer whose focus is on popular music and its attendant youth culture.

Instead, after a year of recording, the album was shelved and the group released a downscaled version, Smiley Smile, in September 1967. 
Over the next four decades, few of the original Smile tracks were officially released, and the project came to be regarded as the most legendary unreleased album in popular music history.
The album was produced and almost entirely composed by Brian Wilson with guest lyricist and assistant arranger Van Dyke Parks, both of whom conceived the project as a riposte to the British sensibilities that had dominated popular music of the era. 
Wilson touted Smile as a "teenage symphony to God" to surpass Pet Sounds. 
It was a concept album that was planned to feature word paintings, tape manipulation, more elaborate vocal arrangements, experiments with musical acoustics, themes of youth and innocence, and comedic interludes, with influences drawn from mysticism, pre-rock and roll pop, doo-wop, jazz, ragtime, musique concrète, classical, American history, poetry, spirituality, and cartoons. 
Over 50 hours of tape was recorded, ranging from musical and spoken word to sound effects and role-playing. 
The lead single would have been "Heroes and Villains", about the early history of California, or "Vega-Tables", a tongue-in-cheek promotion of organic food.
Numerous issues, including legal entanglements with Capitol Records, Wilson's uncompromising perfectionism and mental instabilities, as well as Parks' withdrawal from the project in early 1967, prevented the album's completion. 
Most of the tracks were produced between August and December 1966, but few were ever finished, and the album's structure was never finalized. 
Afraid of the public's reaction to his work, Wilson blocked attempts to release Smile in the subsequent years. 
After the group issued a truncated version of "Heroes and Villains", they reworked some of the material into new songs, such as "Cool, Cool Water", and completed only three more tracks, "Our Prayer", "Cabinessence" and "Surf's Up". 
A mythology grew around the project, and its unfulfilled potential inspired many artists, especially those in indie rock, post-punk, electronic, and chamber pop genres.
Smile had been estimated to be "50% done" by mid-1967.
 Since the 1980s, extensive session recordings have circulated widely on bootlegs, allowing fans to assemble hypothetical versions of a finished album, adding to its legacy as an interactive project. 
In late 1964, as Brian Wilson's industry profile grew, he became acquainted with various individuals from around the Los Angeles music scene.
He also took an increasing interest in recreational drugs (particularly marijuana, LSD, and Desbutal).
According to his then-wife Marilyn, Wilson's new friends "had the gift of gab 
All of a sudden [Brian] was in Hollywood—these people talk a language that was fascinating to him. 
Anybody that was different and talked cosmic or whatever [...] he liked it."
Wilson's closest friend in this period was Loren Schwartz, an aspiring talent agent that he met at a recording studio. 
Schwartz introduced Wilson to marijuana and LSD, as well as a wealth of literature commonly read by college students. 
During his first LSD trip, Wilson had what he considered to be "a very religious experience" and claimed to have seen God.
