I've been a Depeche Mode fan for a long time. I love this song. Can't get it out of my head. I don't think they are anti-Christian. They have many religious references to their music. Maybe they were brought up by staunch fundamentalist catholic parents & forced to go to fundamentalist catholic schools taught by old nuns in habits with slapping rulers. I think they just want people to think about it, that's all, and understand it can be interpreted many ways. No harm, no foul.
@VictoriaS^ In his younger years, I think Dave was fairly skeptical about religion, considering some of the lyrics found in songs like "Blasphemous Rumours" (1984) and "Personal Jesus" (1990). However, it seems apparent that some years back, it he changed his mind when he converted to Greek Orthodox Church.
