I think that because of the way the media has portrayed Creed, everyone assumes they are "holier than thou" and thus should not be getting bar-room fights, coming out drunk, etc. Because of the widespread media portrayal of Creed, the music fans across the world have developed that higher expectation of Creed.

Actually the band has sort of brought this on themselves as well though. Stapp always mentioned that the band is spiritual (not religgious). Because he made this claim (which is justified), people including the media have twisted his words around and used this to make Creed be a "Christian band." Stapp should have simply said "We are not a religious band" and leave it at that. All that matters now though is what we as individual fans think regarding this issue. We all know here that Creed is not a religious or Christian band.
