* NotChristianRock: Several of Sting's songs feature allusions to Judeochristian figures and imagery; among other examples, "Rock Steady" is heavily based on the Noah's Ark myth, and both "Fill Her Up" and "Dead Man's Rope" explicitly mention UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} as a benevolent figure. However, Sting himself is openly agnostic, calling the certainties of religion dangerous in a 2011 interview with ''Time'' magazine, and never made Christianity a central focus of his oeuvre.
