the key ingredient is they don't only sing about Jesus. See also: Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. Mainstream audiences don't generally mind christian themes so long as that band is being true to themselves rather than making common denominator slop.

i mean… look at all the music that came from Motown records before 1985. not all of those musicians and acts were devoutly christian, but a lot of them were

I think you nailed it. I don't mind the Christian songs of Black Sabbath. They are just true to themselves and sing what they want to sing.

Especially when all of the Christians think that the band is Satanic lmao
