We make music for everyone, not just this or that demographic, or set of beliefs. I'm a Christian guy, that's my faith, but I write songs about life, just like anyone else in this. We're very thankful to be making music for a living, and don't take it for granted at all. I take my responsibility as an artist/songwriter very seriously, and look at it like we've been given a platform to say something, and should use that wisely.
