"The difference is that U2’s references are subtle..."

Titling a song, "Yahweh" is subtle? Or turning Psalm 40 into a song titled, "40" is subtle?

I'd hate to see what you call "overt"!

Throwing out songs without context isn’t helpful. Once a band sells, it can do whatever it wants and sing whatever it wants. Bono is worth about 2 billion dollars (look it up). Of all of the U2 songs that get airplay I don’t detect anything but subtle references. It’s good stuff, and very artistic, and I love U2. But “Jesus round her neck” can be interpreted many different ways. Let’s suppose that U2 STARTED with the songs you mention... Think it would have been easier to convince the business side of the industry, or harder?
