Religious affiliation

[edit]

Icon for Hire have had complicated relations with the Christian music market. Icon For Hire is not a categorized as a Christian band. Ariel has stated that they do not play music for Christians but to "save the world"[1] and that they try to distance themselves from identifying as part of the Christian music industry to avoid pushing non-Christians away from hearing that message.[2][3] Despite this, several writers have identified Icon for Hire as part of the Christian music scene,[4][5][6] and some critics have noted references to the members' Christian faith in their lyrics. David Jeffries pointed out that "Christian ideals are the driving force" in the lyrics on Scripted, though he acknowledged that "you could look at this as a secular rebellion against the mopey 'scene' bands and still thrill at Icon for Hire's fresh attitude and sense of purpose."[7] Schexnayder, while admitting that "the group doesn't wear their faith on their sleeve in their messages", noted a general encouraging message on the album and singled out the song "The Grey" as containing "spiritual references".[8] Kim Jones of About.com said that the categorization was inaccurate "if you're looking to use the term to put them into a nice and safe box, limited to only a Christian audience."[9]

The military history of the United Kingdom covers the period from the creation of the united Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707,[10] with the political union of England and Scotland, to the present day.

From the 18th century, with the expansion of the British Empire and the country's industrial strength, Britain's military force became one of the largest and most powerful in the world, particularly its navy, with advanced technology and bases across the world. It declined during the 20th century in the wake of two world wars, decolonisation and the rise of the United States and the USSR as the new superpowers. Britain has been involved in a great many armed conflicts since the union in 1707, on all continents except for Antarctica. Today it still remains a major power with frequent military interventions across the globe since the end of the Cold War in 1990.

The British Armed Forces encompass the Royal Navy, the British Army, and the Royal Air Force.
