I’m an atheist but grew up Christian/catholic. I attend a Christian college (long story) and I constantly have to listen to Christian music. However, some artist I actually like. I love some of needtobreath songs and I love Racheal Plattern (she sang fight song).
I’m just curious on where other nonbelievers stand.
I actually volunteer at my family's church, so I still hear worship music all the time. I'm open about my atheism now, and they don't mind.
That's the way it should be coexistence.
I like classical choral and Gregorian chant, but I have to cleanse my palate with Morbid Angel afterwards.
A lot of classic music is religious. I am particularly thinking of Bach Its good music and I listen. I view it as this man's attempt to celebrate something in the human experience Now there also is a lot of crappy religious music (Have you seen Southpark where Cartman forms a religious music band because you don't need any talent?)
I find a lot of Christian pop music to just be worse versions of regular pop music. That being said, I do have some nostalgia for artist like Jeremy Camp abd third day. Although I don’t ever look them up to listen to them, I don’t mind hearing their songs.
And Christmas music drives me crazy
It’s so annoying!
I still love gospel music!!! The music and the energy (not the words) still move me. It helps that I rarely listen to words anyway, no matter what genre. I rarely know what songs are actually about.
I'm a musician...i listen to all music
I have an appriciation for all music as well.
So funny story i love the beatles and i had been making fun of my little brother because he listens to so much music that comes from alot of hatred of religion. ( and i kinda get it he is gay after all.) And this one band in particular a perfect circle and i had woke up this morning with beatles songs in my head and he heard me singing and he played a perfect circle's rendition of imagine and it was amazing i teared up a bit and it was a great moment lol. But to answer your question no.
Nat King Cole, Beatles, Little River Band even Doobie Brothers make me cry when I sing the great songs
Gregorian Chant
Antiphonal choir is angelic for real ....no wings no miracles just filling the air with perfect notes
If the tune is good, it's good. My current playlist has a couple religious tracks currently. Also, I celebrate the shit out of Christmas...I love the season. But, still an Atheist.
Yes you are a great Atheist to capitalize our name we are upper case nouns not lower case adjectives like xians and xmas. ..a mass over the holy day
In my opinion john lennons imagine is an atheist anthem
Duh, ya think ? John Lennon humanized the greedy bellicose objectivists Atheists of Ayn Rand and pissed on the fake conversion of T.S. ELIOT Atheist protoge' of Bertrand Russell. .laying out prostrate in the shape of a crucifix on the floor of Westminster Abbey ....like C S Lewis William Murray III all Atheists for money pretended to be xian
I don't specifically listen to religious music, but many artists that i do listen to promote their spirituality, sometimes to the point where i can't listen to them any more
