* NotChristianRock: Especially early on, they were mistaken for a Christian band due to the robes and uplifting music. [=DeLaughter=] has said he wasn't thinking of any religious connotations when he came up with the band's look: He wanted to have uniforms because he felt a large group on stage in their street clothes would look too disorganized, and the robes were originally white because he wanted to project images onto a screen onstage and also have them reflect off the band members' clothing.
