Religious music for less than devout

@slaw Good call on the Audio Slave song. Its one of my favorites by them. Lots of religious imagery but not sure what the actual message was.  Like a Stone also has a lot of religious imagery. I always thought Cornell was so so talented.

@artemus_5 There was a Christian rock band in the 80's called The Resurrection Band. Not sure if it was "metal" but fairly hard. I saw them perform and they rocked. Not sure if you can even find their music anymore or if they are still around:

My favorite Led Zeppelin song is In My Time of Dying. A bit of an irreverent take on dying featuring Jesus, angels and, I think the devil but I don't remember if he makes an appearance or not.....he's implied if nothing else.

@bdp24 I can't believe we left Dylan out either. Like Van Morrison he went through a Christian phase as well.

I'm not a big church goer but a friend said try City Church in Redmond and I went a couple times. First time the band came out to play I thought oh no here we go but then was really pleasantly surprised. Impressed, even. Quality musicianship, quality performance. Even the sound quality was quite good. This in a church with probably several hundred in attendance. Packed. 

As I say I don't go much and so the next time I went was more than a year later. The church had outgrown and moved to the valley where there was a lot of land by the golf course. The parking lot was so big they had shuttle buses. The church was so big they had three giant TV screens each one a good 20 feet high and from where we were you needed the screen. The place felt more like a sports coliseum or concert hall than a church. I mean it was huge. And packed. 

Its not a phase. The phase if anything would appear to be the time of thinking eternal truths will go away simply because you turn your back on them.
