Is Type-O-Negative Christian?

Type O Negative's latest album, Dead Again, contains many religious themes which isn't unique for Type O Negative. However, this time round those themes are not portrayed in a mocking way or sexual way as they have been in previous albums by Type-O. The religious themes in Dead Again are actually quite positive and supportive. It appears the band, or at least their front-man has had some changes in his life...
look at these lyrics...

These Three Things by Type O Negative
The child is torn
From the womb unbaptised
There's no question
It's infanticide
I'm guilty so therefore condemned
Destroying angels must come to an end
Now in limbo
Deprived of paradise
That's not so nice

At the end I'll escort you to hell
The dark one's forces
Lock your flaming cell
To murder the ones unborn
The worst sin you've ever performed
There are two other things I will tell
Know them well

With due respect
Hear these words of caution
If considering an abortion
If you dig boiling sulphur
To which I will not concur
Leading to a path of misfortune
No one won

Of a land that shuns the son
So alien call it Area 5-1
Should there be failure to convert Zion
What came as a lamb
Returning as a lion

Not a nation but a self proclaim-ed state
Since the year of our lord 1-9-4-8
The road to redemption leads through deserts
Rocky though the trip through is well worth it

I am the duel of the fisherman Simon
He brought alpha, omega, yes I'm the one
The twins fell beginning Armadgeddon
So the whore too who dwelleth in Babylon
All his people gathered round
Through forgiveness salvation found

Some people think that scream (at 10:18 in the above video) is Peter saying "I'M A CHRISTIAN!".
Also, look at this...
from Wiki - Peter Steele
In April 2007, Steele revealed that he began identifying himself as Roman Catholic in recent years, after decades of self-professed atheism. In an interview with Decibel magazine, Steele explains “There are no atheists in foxholes, they say, and I was a foxhole atheist for a long time. But after going through a midlife crisis and having many things change very quickly, it made me realize my mortality. And when you start to think about death, you start to think about what’s after it. And then you start hoping there is a God. For me, it’s a frightening thought to go nowhere. I also can’t believe that people like Stalin and Hitler are gonna go to the same place as Mother Teresa.”[7]
What do you think?




On a different note (see what I did there), at around 12:18 of the youtube cut, you can hear the lead guitar playing the Hey Jude riff, as Type O Negative are all HUGE fans of the Beatles.
