I've only got one, as I'm not by any strech of the word religious and hate to get beaten over the head with "the message." But I happen to love the disc MERCURY, by a band called THE PRAYER CHAIN. The band broke up a number of years ago, but this disc still holds up really well.

It's a very layered and textured sound (reminiscent of THE CURE from the Wish era, musically). The lyrics delve into Christian territory at times, but they aren't all about it and you don't get the feeling of being beaten over the head when they are. They end to be fairly introspective and deal more with feelings than "God."

Anyway, there you go. It's not an easy disc to track down anymore, but it's well worth the effort if you can get it.
