Agreed, it's hella muddy and confused. I really don't think Sir Andrew and Tim Rice imagined that it'd explode the way it did -- maybe they'd have put more thought into it.
I'm still willing to say that JCS remains rather secular, on the whole, because the show doesn't feature Jesus's most 'showy' miracles -- water to wine, loaves & fishes, Lazarus back from the dead -- or the classic resurrection scenes (empty tomb, Jesus with holes in his hands, etc.)
The title song essentially asks a question, rather than making a statement.
"Do you think you're what they say you are?"
