The religious elements of this album are not as clearly explicit as they are in many of their other albums. There's not any blatantly Christian songs such as First Time, Yahweh, Magnificent, Until The End Of The World, etc. but the element is still very much there.
I expect SOE to be more religious as Bono has brought up in the last year or so about how they've been writing a lot of religious material. He specifically mentioned last summer that they had a song about CS Lewis' The Screwtape Letters and Meer Christianity. He also said in the interview about drawing a lot of inspiration from the Psalms in his recent songwriting. It would make sense with a theme of Experience as well. But we'll see what happens.
I haven't listened to the album much recently, but I remember hearing quite a bit of religious imagery in the album. Specifically in Cedarwood, Iris, Lucifer's Hands, and Sleep Like A Baby.
