666 isn't even a biblical number. Any Christian getting upset is admitting they haven't read the bible.

It's in the Book of Revelation, New Testament: https://bible.oremus.org/?passage=Revelation+13%3A17%E2%80%9318&version=nrsv

This calls for wisdom: let anyone with understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a person. Its number is six hundred sixty-six.

If culture associates it with opposition to religion and/or a theatrical performance of wickedness, that is more salient than scriptural numerology proving that the actual diabolical number is 616 or whatever.
