Is the band Brand New christian?

Answer 1

Read their lyrics. For instance 'Jesus Christ'.

Not sure what the above means but I would take an educated guess and say they are not or are "hard agnostic". With many of their lyrics including the song jesus christ it is more of a mockery and questionableness than anything. Lyrics like:

I know you'll come in the night like a thief

But I've had some time alone to hone my lying technique

I know you think that I'm someone you can trust

But I'm scared I'll get scared and I swear I'll try to nail you back up

Most "christian" bands would not say things like this in that tone.

Just because a band talks about "Christianity" or "god" absolutely doesn't mean they are religious. It is merely on the bands mind and in their lyrics..whether that be in a negative way or positive way. Moreover if you read enough of their lyrics, they talk about god, savior, etc as a parallel. Many religious bands (particularly christian) put god/jesus on this pedistal above everything. "Brand New's" lyrics have an element of being parallel, almost conversationally, humorously, about "god".

They'll be completely out

Of their forgiveness supplies - You Won't Know

I used to pray like God was listening.

I used to make my parents proud.

I was the glue that kept my friends together,

Now they don't talk and we don't go out. - Millstone

And lastly people may get confused to lyrics like this:

Cause the God I believe in never worked on a campaign trail - The archer's bow is broken

Again in the same example as the "einsteinian god" Just because people mention "God I believe in" does not mean the "god" you see in late night infommercials popular in American culture. It could be "the universe" it could be "evolution" a god does not specifically have to be a diety in the general sense. Which was wrongly misconstrude when Einstein said something similar.

All the sources point to either athiest or "hard agnostic" (which means don't know for absolutely sure, but "knows" whatever is up there is NOT what all the religions around the world currently market and sell)

However the lead singer Jesse Lacey did grow up going to a Christian private school, as said in an interview.

Answer 2

Nevertheless the band is a Christian band and i believe all of them are Christians. If it is the band that made "Live Like We're alive" and "In The Making"

I hope that heps (-:
