They weren't organizing deliberately and expressly under the banner of atheism/agnosticism.

I don't really care myself (actually I find some of the Christian rock stuff kind of interesting) but I just find it slightly inappropriate that in the context of these festivals and what-not, prefixing the word "concert" with the word "Christian" is done deliberately as a mechanism of exclusion. It's a not-so-subtle way of saying "if you're not one of us, don't bother showing up".

All I'm saying is it'd be interesting to see the reactions from people if someone organized a "atheist rock festival". Kinda' like it'd be interesting to see the reactions from people organizing a "straight pride parade".

That's all. Not looking to start a war, just some food for thought. . .
