How is it weird? It's not as though they're singing how much they love God or anything; they're just retelling a story. A lot of their songs are about stories. Rebecca is a song told from Rebecca's point of view, a character in a book called (surprise surprise) Rebecca by Daphne duMaurier. Monster is based on something that John Steinbeck mentioned in East of Eden; if a child does not receive love it will become a monster, etc etc blah blah blah. What difference does it make if it's a religious tale? A lot of stories from religious texts are actually quite interesting, I can see why they'd write a song about one...
Sorry, I didn't mean to make that sound so snotty but I had to make a point. Lol.
