Religious music for less than devout


We have a thread " Jazz for someone who doesn’t like jazz. " In a similar vein perhaps "Religious music for the less than devout".

"people get ready" - Rod Stewart
"Amazing Grace" - Jessye Norman
2009 "Duets" - Five Blind Boys of Alabama, The - entire CD
1988 "Sweet Fellowship" - Acappella, the entire CD

In 1989 I was working in NJ, I may have been the only guy on the job who did not know he was working for the Irish Mafia. I would lend people the CD "Sweet Fellowship" and they were willing to pay for it but never return it:

"Here is $20 kid, go buy yourself another cuz youz can’t have mine back. Now don’t ever ask me again."

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best
And

Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life

I think it qualifies as a music reference. 
Since this is for less than devout. 
Curtis Mayfield: (Don't Worry) If There's a Hell Below We're all Gonna Go
Nothing wrong with attacking piety especially when it’s difficult to know when one is pious, don’t you think?
Another good one for us less than devout.

John Prine: Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore 
Onerous taxes and entitlement programs like Social Security and  Medicare cause religious folks to chaff. Another good song for those of us less than devout and a favorite among the social justice takers.

Yes, I know Turn Turn Turn is from Ecclesiastes, it's my favorite book in the Bible.
