I believe you have misinterpreted the definition of this trope. This is about music that has religious themes without being explicitly Christian.

[up] And since Lamb Of God was given as an example, sometimes based on their name alone, I thought it could work, given that once you notice the blatant un-Christain images and warnings on their covers, the name stands out for that reason.

That example shouldn't be on this page. That is really the opposite of this trope. The band is unchristian, but is sometimes mistaken for Christian because of its misleading name. This is about music that has Christian themes, but is not generally thought of as "Christian Rock" because it is not explicitly Christian or is only Christian in subtext.

Ah,... now I get it. Sorry.

So it only applies to the songs themselves and not does not extend to any of the band names or other affiliated parafernalia?

Okay, because I took that into account. But would it fit Faux Symbolism better?

This trope is often the result of Faux Symbolism when bands invoke Judeo-Christian motifs solely for show/aesthetic appeal and people take the imagery literally.

[up] sorry none of those really work for me. I don't get the connection, via words alone.
