>Is u2 a christian band?

Somewhat. All the members except Adam Clayton, the bass player are christians. There are several and I do mean several references to God, religion, the bible, Jesus, and other chritianity aspects in many of the songs. However, they don't do "christian music". October from 1981 is the closest thing that band has done to Christian Music.

When Bono(the lead singer) was growing up in Ireland, one parent was a protestant, and the other was catholic. And as you may or may not know, civil war was in affect in Ireland for many years between Protestants and Catholics(among other things). Larry, Edge, and Bono seem to be more non-denominational as far as I know, but I'm guessing that they lean more towards catholicism.
