Scott Stapp the vocalist and lyricist is a Christian and his solo albums are outrightly spiritual in theme.

Something you would have to grow up in the church to understand is how controversial a lot of "Christian bands" actually were in Christian circles. Like the pushback against music with scream vocals was real.

It was a genuine wedge issue because churches used professional audio/lights to attract members with polished modern rock worship music. Music became so intertwined that it led to all non christian music being labeled "secular".

Bands like Creed didn't fit either label but generally was considered acceptable listening material in the church circles I grew up in. Most objections were genre based.
