Its best not to trust surveys like that unless you and everyone you know was asked questions about it.
Religion is mainstream, not just Christianity, and Christianity is one of the most amended religions in history creating thousands of "underground" churches in its name. Also when it comes to music, a band's religion is not what determines their popularity, marketing and distribution, their label does.

Good points scyther. But, theres a much larger market available for Christian bands than Satanic ones. A lot of my friends, Christian or not, won't even listen to music with Satanic lyrics. The lyrics that bands like Underoath and As I Lay Dying offer are much more friendly to the mainstream public, hence, their potential for widespread appeal and the fraudulent nature of their "we're so underground" lamentations.

Anti-religion will naturally be less of a mainstream hit than praise music. I don't listen to bands like this often so I wouldn't know whether or not they claim to be underground but if their label is independent then they should be labeled as such despite what they claim in their lyrics. An independent band may have mainstream appeal but according to their level of marketing and income they are still technically "underground".

That have your own taste in music. Just because you are a christian doesnt mean you HAVE to listen to Underoath, you can listen to whatever you want.

Hmm, so most would rather listen to music about a loving God than ritual sacrifice and such? You just blew my freaking mind...

I don't understand your 3.5, you spend most of your time complaining on this album, the reason for different city recordings is to show their consistency.

Just watching (listening to) this now, love this band, well the last three albums they did anyway. Would be great if they released a similar DVD with songs from 'Lost in the sound of separation' and 'Disambiguation' in addition to the excellent 'Define the great line' stuff.
Why does anyone feel the need to discuss religion or beliefs wherever Underoath is concerned? The music is the important thing here, no matter what you believe.
