Yes, a "my life is wasted without Jesus" shirt would have been ok. The superintendent even uses that exact phrase in the article linked in the OP.

School officials didn't suspend Swinimer because he was wearing a shirt that offended some: It was because he refused to change the shirt when the principal of Forest Heights Community School ordered him to.

South Shore Regional School Board (SSRB) superintendent Nancy Pynch-Worthylake says that if the shirt read "My life is wasted without Jesus," it would be a much different situation.
