I didn't say new age spirituality... I said spirituality.  There's a difference between those two also.  Creed is technically not a Christian band, though if you prefer to think of them that way, no harm done.  But just for the record, creednet has an FAQ, where it's stated that they do not consider themselves a Christian band, nor does it say that they're Christians... all it says is that they all believe in God.

Is Creed a Christian band?

"Are we a Christian band? This is a question we are asked a lot because of some of the references made in the lyrics. No, we are not a Christian band. A Christian band has an agenda to lead others to believe in their specific religious beliefs. We have no agenda! Those references were made at a time in my life when I was questioning how I was raised, and searching for where I stood concerning those issues. This is not to say I have abandoned those beliefs, just searching for where they fit into my life." -- Scott Stapp
Are the members of Creed Christians?

"This is a very personal question because the whole foundation of being a Christian is a personal relationship. I can say that all the members believe in God, but we each differ on our methods to reach Him. We are all still learning and growing, and God can only answer this question, because who are we to say that being a Christian is the only way to heaven. I know this might be hard to understand for all the Christians who follow the band--and trust me, I know where you are coming from--but let us continue to seek, and if that is the way, then we will find, if we continue to knock, the doors will be opened." -- Scott Stapp

OK, so they're not Christian--are they religious?

"Please do not limit this band to only dealing with spiritual issues. I wrote about spiritual issues on My Own Prison because that was what I was dealing with personally at the time. I write about things that are very personal to me, and things that I see and feel from the world around me. All I can say is that writing for this band is not centrally focused around spiritual issues, so understand that not all of our songs in the future will deal with the same things MOP dealt with." -- Scott Stapp
