I've stumbled upon a goldmine. 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
This message is not to offend, just to admire for it's stupidity. And before you get all uppity, if this was an atheist band with atheist lyrics, I would still laugh at it.

http://www.myspace.com/apologetix

from Wikipedia:

ApologetiX is a Christian parody band located in Pittsburgh, PA, U.S.. The band was founded in 1992 and consists of J. Jackson on vocals, Keith Haynie on bass guitar, Jimmy "Vegas" Tanner on drums[1] and Bill Hubauer on keyboard, lead guitar, and electric violin.[2] Karl Messner, who was on lead guitar, left the band in early September 2007[3]. In the song "We're in a Parody Band", ApologetiX refers to itself as a cross between "Weird Al" Yankovic and Billy Graham.

ApologetiX rewrites secular songs with Christian lyrics. Some of their parodies include "Hotel Can't Afford Ya" ("Hotel California") by The Eagles, "Corinthians" (based on "In the End" by linkin Park), "Look Yourself" ("Lose Yourself" by Eminem), "Smooth Grandmama" ("Smooth Criminal" by Michael Jackson), "Smells Like Thirtysomething Spirit" ("Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana), "Sounds of Silas" ("Sounds of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel) and "Bethlehemian Rhapsody" ("Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen).

ApologetiX gets their unusual name from the word "apologetics", which means "the defense of the Christian faith."[4] It is based on the Greek word for defense, "apologia". The word is used in 1 Peter 3:15, "But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer (defense or "apologia") to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect..." (NIV). Their logo, a triquetra, is an ancient symbol of the Holy Trinity.[5]



The end.

Personally I'd go with Faith +1 in this genre.
