Yes but they're not the only tools available, they just seem to be the ones Tool favor over all else maybe because it is upon the christian beliefs that they base their philisophies of life and the afterlife. Though I don't think its simply because christianity is mainstream ( Metal bands usually claim to be non-conformists ). Its just interesting to see that this band makes more references about God than the Doobie Bros. yet you wouldn't expect to find a Tool CD in a christian book store.
