I'll second the nomination of the innocence mission. They've progressed from a vaguely Kate Bush-ish sound on their debut (c. 1989) to a drumless, acoustic trio on their recent records. Their first three major label albums do not contain overtly religious songs (except for one song on their second album) so they're safe for even atheists like me! :-) And Karen Peris has one of the most amazing voices I've ever heard. Overt religious themes pop up with more frequency on their more recent records, but I think there's still something there for everyone.
Someone mentioned the 77's. Their eponymous album is really great and somewhat eclectic sounding at various time like the Byrds, the Doors, and 80's alternative. Plus Chris Hillman plays on one track.
Last and least, King's X. I think they're horrendous, but they do seem to have a bit of a following. Try before you buy.
