Does the alternative rock band "Stone Sour" have more of a satanic or atheist background?

Stone Sour is a hard rock band formed by Corey Taylor, famous for being the vocalist for the band Slipknot, and former drummer Joel Ekman. Biography The band was originally formed in 1992 by Corey Taylor and drummer Joel Ekman. The band's name came from a cocktail mix, consisting of one part whiskey and a splash of orange juice and sour mix. Taylor's long time friend, Shawn Economaki, joined shortly after filling in as the bass player. In 1995, James Root joined the band. The band disbanded when Taylor left in 1997 to join Slipknot, and Root also joined Slipknot one year later. Economaki went on to be the stage manager for Slipknot and Ekman formed a family. The band was thought to be over. However, in 2000, Josh Rand approached Taylor with songs he had been working on. They then worked together for a year and a half writing, and subsequently the band reformed in 2002 with the original line up. They recorded their self-titled first album in Cedar Falls, Iowa, which hit shelves on July 31st in the UK and August 1st in the US. The band released the song "Bother" for the Spider Man soundtrack (credited only to Taylor) while recording the album. http://www.answers.com/Stone%20Sour Nov 22 06, 11:12 AM

There is a great deal of discussion out there about this very question and there is no shortage of opinions. General consensus is that they are not Satanists but rather fall somewhere between "Atheist" and "Satanic Atheist" which is a "Satanist" who does not believe in "Satan." Go figure. Nov 22 06, 11:46 AM
