not so much a christian artist as in a preacher kind or singing at church fundraiser bible pushing stuff. but he is christian and it does come up in his music quite a bit but never in a preachy way. like seven swans abraham is a bible tale. you know the last line '....until jesus comes' and alot of illinios has constant reference to god, but in a good questioning way eg. ' he takes and he takes and he takes etc. '
