An article on Epitaph's website on January 17th(http://www.epitaph.com/news/news/2795) has said it was as such, and I would trust them over a 3rd party news source.

message: Intro is completely wrong. Into the Unknown was not their debut album, and it did not sell well.  On the contrary, it was enormously unpopular and directly led to the band breaking up, as it was psychadelic rock, which alienated the punk fans.

In 1984 Greg Hetson of Circle Jerks fame replaced Gurewitz. This sentence doesn't make any sense. I think its trying to say that Hetson replaced Brett which isn't true, he was asked to record a song with the band, and just kind of stuck around.  This is explained in the new BR dvd (which is really cool).  The DC
Actually he did replace him when Brett went into rehab for his drug problem. He is credited on Back To The Known
The intro paragraph states "The last Bad Religion album..." Shouldn't it be "latest?" They didn't break up. McFlynnTHM 14:48, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, it is unnecessary. I just fixed the sentence you pointed out. Bad Religion may have sold a lot of records, but calling them "one of the best-selling punk rock acts of all time" along with bands like The Offspring, Green Day or NOFX makes no sense, and the other thing is, is that Bad Religion is older than those bands. 198.91.126.58 (talk) 18:35, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Intro 

message: Removed text: In his doctoral dissertation, "Monism, Atheism, and the Naturalist World-View: Perspectives from Evolutionary Biology," he concludes that there's "no conflict between evolutionary theory and religion on the one important condition that religion is essentially atheistic." One of his beliefs (and he is a man of deep faith), which must have helped him to arrive at his findings, is that naturalism is set to become a new and influential religion. Naturalism "is satisfying," Graffin has said, "because it is a teacher. Naturalism teaches one of the most important things in the world: there is only this life—so live wonderfully and meaningfully." And one of the keys to a wonderful and meaningful existence is living free of delusions, which all "bad religions"—traditional churches, political dogmas, conformist social codes—trade in. He also denies the existence of free will.
This paragraph is lifted practically word-for-word from  Christianity Today. Linking to that article might well be appropriate, but cut-and-pasting it is not. --Calair 00:10, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

:: Greg Graffin, the band's frontman, holds a Master's degree in geology from UCLA and a Ph.D. in biology from Cornell University. Graffin's dissertation for Cornell was a comprehensive study of how modern scientists view theism and religion, and how their own religious beliefs, if any, affect their study and work. He has since published it for fans of the band.

*Does anyone really care what Sum 41's lead singer's favorite Bad Religion album is?  Really? Chopped out as trivia.
*I really want to chop the entire Musical similarities section, but so far, I've been able to restrain myself.  Just don't see it as all that important for an encyclopedia entry.

* 3.3 Covers
* 3.4 Musical similarities
* 3.5 Soundtracks
Then, the pieces of section "3.1 Influence" could be incorporated into the "2.1 Early career" section.  Bits of "3.2 Collaborations and guest musicians" could also be placed individually into the history according to when each thing happened.
Various extraneous entries (tonguesofdestruction.com?) in External Links could go too, IMHO.  Any thoughts?  This is a major restructure, so it should get some review before being attempted.  m13b 20:40, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Chopping block - Thoughts on a big restructuring

message: Might lose some support on this move, but I think it helps a lot.  As indicated previously, I wanted to chop out a bunch of sections.  These bits either should be placed on individual album pages (which I will do shortly) or cut completely due to lack of relevance/references.  Other than that, the influences were moved to Early Career.

thread_title: MAJOR reordering - All Trivia Sections Cut

message: Now when I re-run the peerreviewer script, it tells me the intro is too long.  (I can't win!)  Here's an alternative intro if the current one is indeed deemed too long.
Bad Religion is a hardcore punk/punk rock band formed in Southern California in 1980 by Jay Bentley, Greg Graffin, Brett Gurewitz and Jay Ziskrout. This band is often credited for leading the revival of punk rock during the late 1980s, as well as influencing a large number of other punk and rock musicians throughout their career.  
They are known for their socially conscious lyrics and the ability to express their ideology with the use of metaphor, an advanced vocabulary and vocal harmonies known as the "oozin aahs".  Bad Religion songs deal with matters of personal as well as political responsibility, and despite the band's moniker, deal more with freedom than atheism.
The band has gone through a large number of personnel changes throughout its history, singer/songwriter Greg Graffin being the sole consistent member.  The lineup departure with the largest impact occurred when Brett Gurewitz, Bad Religion's other main songwriter, left in 1994.  Gurewitz rejoined the band eight years later, and Bad Religion continues to record new material and tour for its fans around the world.

message: This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of February 23, 2007, compares against the  six good article criteria:
:1. Well written?: Fail. The prose doesn't flow very well and it oisn't structured very well. Several paraghraphs come off as being a bunch of random points just thrown together in sentence form, ie. "The band has gone through a large number of personnel changes throughout its history, singer/songwriter Greg Graffin being the sole consistent member. The lineup departure with the largest impact occurred when Brett Gurewitz, Bad Religion's other main songwriter, left in 1994; he rejoined the band in 2001."
:2. Factually accurate?: Weak Fail. Makes several unsourced statements, but the history of the group seems well-sourced.
:3. Broad in coverage?: Pass. Seems to have good coverage of the subject
:4. Neutral point of view?: Fail Several unsourced statements that are taken as POV, eg. "This band is often credited for leading the revival of punk rock during the late 1980s, as well as influencing a large number of other punk and rock musicians throughout their career." That statement needs sources
:5. Article stability? As far as I can tell, yes. Pass.
:6. Images?: Fail. None of them have fair-use rationale
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration.  Thanks for your work so far. 
Sorry, but I have to fail this article because I do not think it is well-written enough for it to be a Good Article. Please take a couple of days to reread the prose a few times, and make some appropriate changes before renominating it. -- Scorpion 16:13, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Anyone given thought to include people like Steve Port (Polar Bear Club drummer) that filled in on tour while Brooks was away for his mother's funeral? I can dig up relevant details on that instance. Here's an article that mentions it.Are there any other documented instances of temporary members?
Asking as its looking like Brook's replacement may be announced soon. Either way, contact me if it's worth me adding the info. Syracusepunk (talk) 13:26, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Temporary band members? 

message: The formed date has repeatedly been changed from 1980 to 1979. I've changed it back to 1980 like three times, but kept getting reverted. The band members have claimed in interviews that Bad Religion didn't exist until 1980. They also did a 30th anniversary tour in 2010. Just because Jay Bentley said the band formed in 1979 doesn't mean it's accurate. In that same source in this article, he said "no one can remember exactly", which indicates that the band hadn't existed until at least 1980. Here are some sources where the band said they've been around since 1980:

Bad Religion's official website also says they formed in 1980:

replies: text: Looks to me like the cited reference clearly indicates it as 1979, and the article text goes into more detail about that. They're welcome to place it whenever they like, of course, but unless there's references saying that they didn't in fact start playing together in 1979, I think that's the best supported date.

text: I reverted because you removed sourced information and replaced it with unsourced. If you feel the correct year is 1980, go ahead and change it, but also add a (better) source. Nazgul02 (talk) 17:42, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
