They have to be Bad Religion related, of course. Not only to the band, though; you can also share anything related to the band members or even the fans.

I'm not blaming anyone. In fact, I often have people on the street asking me about my crossbuster necklace and their questions doesn't bother me at all; sometimes we even end up having a nice friendly talk about music or religion.
And about the club, it wasn't intended to be informative, but more a place for BR fans to share stuff about the band.
Sorry if my previous reply sounded harsh, that wasn't my intention. It's just that I like to find answers for myself and I'm used to do some research before asking somebody else, unless I can't find anything and then I do ask. I can't pretend everyone will do the same, though.
-- The only natural thing that I really despise are the mediocre minds. (Bad Religion)
Okay, I read an answer to my question, but you can't really blame everyone for assuming this is an anti-christian band, can you? And as for doing research, this is a Bad Religion fan club account, this is exactly the place to do research. If the you don't like that I people are used to taking band names seriously, or a question every now and then from a visitor to your club, but a freakin notice on the main page!
Interview with Brian Baker: Luke: This an often asked question, but I don't think it hurts to revisit it. Bad Religion has always dealt with some amount of controversy, one, for the name, and two, for the "crossbuster" logo. On the band's website, you have kids saying things like their Bad Religion shirts have been banned from school, and things like that. Will you address what the name and crossbuster logo are all about? Bad Religion has said things like it is not necessarily about being anti-Christianity or anti-religion. What are the ideals of the band? I know this is really broad, but I am sure you've addressed it enough times. Brian: I am happy to help you with this. The name Bad Religion and the crossbuster logo came to pass in the minds of two fifteen year olds in the midst of the Jerry Falwell scandal in 1980. They were trying to find the most offensive name and image they could possibly find for the punk band they were starting in their garage and "Dead Kennedys" was already taken. These are not people who thought that twenty-one years later they would be on the telephone doing interviews. So you have the name, which, in a pissed off fifteen year old kid's mind, is a cool name and it looks pretty cool on your jacket. Let's fast forward. Here we are now. I'm in a band with six people. Some people believe in God, some people do not. There are atheists, there are agnostics, and I'm not going to say there are any practicing Catholics and we have to have fish on the rider on Fridays, but there are people who lead a much more spiritual life than others, just within the six members of this band. There is absolutely nothing wrong with people who find peace and value in religion. What we have is this name that we are forced now to deal with. The way we manage to get out of it, or to try to make sense of it, is this crossbuster logo and this Bad Religion name really represent anti-dogmatic thinking. You can't just say we were kids and it was a bad name. I do like the fact that people get thrown out of school for wearing that t-shirt because I don't think you should get thrown out of school for wearing that t-shirt. It is a fundamental human right, and I think the Constitution protects them. Plus, there are far more offensive images that people are exposed to on network television. We just have to use it as a euphemism for not being told what to do. Unfortunately, people take it the wrong way and I don't like to offend people who are devout, but then again, it is just a punk band. Part and parcel of that is that you are going to make people pissed off a little bit. It is an interesting way to come to terms with the issue and I can't really define it, I'm sort of free-associating to explain my feelings on it.
