Well, Christians can't expect non-believers to see God in every song, just how non-believers can't expect Christians to keep God out of everything as they wish they would. Skillet is a Christian band, therefore, it is expected that a majority of their songs are about God, thus making them a Christian band. If you're interested in non-God Skillet songs, try "Should've When You Could've" or something like that. Also, lyrics are written to be taken however the reader wants to interpret them. If you want to fit God into everything then wonderful, and if you want to keep him out of everything, more power to you.
Oh and P.S., saying that Christians are ruining Skillet for you is completely ignorant, intolerant, and childish. That's like saying that non-Christians ruin non-Christian bands for me. It makes no sense. Christians who are "really into it" are what God commands Christians to be, and if you don't like it then tough. I'm not too fond of Atheists who are really into it and I have to deal with it every day. And, um, your opinion does not entitle you to tell anyone not to give theirs. You say that Comatose and Awake have nothing to do with God, fine, but no one has to shut up if they think it does. Try thinking before you post next time. Thanks.
@Charderjean you're right, but keep in mind that some non-believers may relate to the songs as well in a non-Christian way, which is the whole point in the first place. Skillet stated that their songs are written for everybody in general, believer or not, but this is a good thing, because it means that non-believers, or Atheists may hear a skillet song that they really relate to, and God will use that to lead them to him.
