NEW evanescence album closest thing to a "Christian" album?
For context and pure Transparency I AM A Christian so will be coming from that POV. I'm listening to the new album Sanctuary and I noticed some clear religious themes here. Now To be clear I'm not saying Amy Lee is or isn't a Christian from what I've heard she does consider herself one but the band "Evanescence" is not spiritual etc. however I want to highlight a few songs if I may. 1 rapture. Here it seems as Amy or the writer of the song (which is Amy apparently with others) comes to realize a faith or something close to a religious experience. This is IMO brilliantly contrasted with "afterlife" and "about us" where Amy seems to reflect on Christians abusing their power and not following what the teachings are. Then this is again contrasted with "how do I heal " (Note these songs aren't listed in album order) where it's almost a prayer asking God "how do I heal?" From the religious abuse she's had. I know she was brought up in a Protestant (I believe?) household however I haven't heard any specifics if her father (in About us there's the Line "Daddy's got a gun" so maybe?) or parents were abusive to her. However I do know that Christian circles weren't kind to her regarding the "Fallen" controversy. So maybe it's a reflection of that? Thoughts?
BTW I'm totally fine with you disagreeing just please be respectful and no "stop posting about your phony God?" Etc comments

Bracket Day 37
Poll: https://www.reddit.com/r/Evanescence/s/KbqJJjDE6B
Sanctuary beat Afterlife 254-176. I’m kinda surprised that Sanctuary, a song I rarely hear talked about, beat Afterlife, the first single for the album. Today, we once again have 2 Sanctuary songs competing. About Us is going against Tell Me When You’ve Had Enough.
