I was never a believer myself but he got me into some Christian hardcore/metalcore. I will say, some of those bands ran circles around some of the shit I listened to at the time. Bands like Zao, Society's Finest, Norma Jean... Still listen to it periodically when I'm feeling like some heavy stuff.
Society's Finest "Knife Fight"
Zao "Lies of a serpent, river of tears"
Norma Jean "Memphis will burn" all make my "jam" playlists

I never paid much attention to which bands were devout or not but I was a big fan of pretty much everything being put out on Facedown Records in the early 2000's. No Innocent Victim, Figure Four, Point of Recognition...
