As for the question, well, I don't think the guys' music is particularly religiously oriented in any way; God for sure is something mentioned repeatedly but I think it's for the sake of the theme, depending on the message that's supposed to be conveyed. Stuff with preachers and church and Hallelujah Amen is used in the religious context but not for Christianity in particular, ya know? But nothing to suggest that they're a Christian band or anything. They're not picky in the religious department.
For the record, I'm a Muslim and it don't affect the way I perceive or enjoy the music...in the end, you'd just think, why should I?

Well dear, during my days Bon Jovi was considered as a hard rocker band, with real heart felt music, around highschool days, evreyone had the These Days album, it was like a must have...
Nowadays the new generation has barely heard of Bon Jovi, its about some few little girls, that happen to love two or three poptunes of Jovi, no offense dear.
Around Gemmeyze, if any Bon Jovi is played, its either Its my Life or any song from These Days, i once heard ''If thats what it Takes'' played at a pub.
Yea, but to make it clearer to you, a Shiite friend of mine, heard the ''if i don't believe in Jesus'' line, he was like whats with those rock bands and Jesus? and then turned for some arabic music.
Its not to say that Jovi are a Christian rock band, no way; but just to say that mentionning Christian symbols in their songs is not very appealing to non-Christian listenners.
