Rock of Faith: Christian Bands Now a Crossover Miracle
By Jeremy | September 18, 2006
"Not long ago, a rock star acknowledging his Christianity was akin to a saint bathing in meat tenderizer before being tossed to the lions. ... "Or, as pop-culture blog The Talent Show puts it: 'Christian rock is stereotypically the kind of crap that offends music fans as well as the ultra-religious.' "But in the last few years, all that has changed. Yes, there are still plenty of artists who chirp about being born again, but artists such as Evanescence, Creed, Switchfoot, and P.O.D. have all scored multi-platinum success with music steeped in Christian themes. They've even maintained credibility while talking about their faith. "In fact, it's almost become cool to claim that you're Christian these days. Just don't go too far and actually say you're a Christian band."Article Related WWJD (What Would Jay-Z Do?): Engaging Youth Culture
