And look how far Metallica went... and (flashback to the 80's) Megadeth. Or Bon Jovi. Or U2. None of those bands sing about religion... the occasional reference to God (some good, some bad... goes either way)... but they are all some of the biggest bands of their era, and they did it without singing about Religion. It's not actually Religion that makes a song a seller... it's the music... the writing style... and the fanbase. True that this isn't a solid case, seeing as how Marilyn Manson is doing so well... but the majority of top bands out there aren't singing about religion... most of their top songs don't even have reference to any form of God.
