So I said something completely expecting pushback: "Slayer is Christian music" and then I find out Tom Araya is actually a practicing Catholic.
The dude who said "Religion's obscene, Religions a whore" and "I made my choice 666" is actually a Catholic. I was more right than I thought I was going to be.
They mostly criticize the hollow Christians who are performative:

@nihilvt there is a non-insignificant amount of the "satanic panic" stuff that was actually either directly or spiritually Christian that people still got upset at anyway because they are horrible at actually interpreting art.
I remember Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden was a song my parents wouldn't let me play on guitar hero unless I muted the game. Because the thought it was satanic. Turns out if you actually listen to the lyrics it's a warning *against* evil and Satanism.
