Many people that aren't familiar with this genre may

assume that Christian Music is primarily made up of hymns,

gospel, church songs for kids, and other types of music

that you would commonly hear in a church, sung by a choir.

On the other hand, fans of this genre know that it encompasses

much more.

Some of the most famous in this genre are P.O.D., MxPx, Kutless,

Switchfoot,Toby Mac, As I Lay Dying, Underoath, Stryper

(from the 1980's), and Evanescence ? although, Evanescence has

moved away from their religious roots since they've tasted big

time success. Evanescence's divergence from faith just helps to

illustrate the challenges the Christian rock stars have to face,

making P.O.D's unwavering path to success and their inspirational

message even more amazing. Other bands like Creed may contain

Christian recording artists, but this doesn't necessarily mean

that they are a Christian rock group.

Unlike Stryper, who used to toss Bibles out to fans during

their onstage performances, Christian artists are more careful

about being outwardly religious today. This stems from the fear

that they may alienate some fans if they're ?too religious.

? However, this is not to say that groups like P.O.D, MxPx,

or As I Lay Dying shy away from their faith. These groups embrace

their faith through their positive lyrics and their lifestyles,

but they also make sure not to ?push? their faith on anyone ?

this way no one feels alone.

Since Christian Music is always reaching out to its fans,

it's not surprising that fans also feel more comfortable

with their religion. Thanks to major Christian bands as well

as the music that many enjoy in their home or church, artists

of this genre help promote a positive message that is

inspirational to everyone.
