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."

Bruce Cockburn (pronounced Coburn) was on the Christian rock scene for awhile, until his lyrics drifted toward human rights, then he was no longer approved.  His album "Dancing In the Dragon's Jaw" featured "Wondering Where the Lions Are" that was a radio hit.  This album features his incredible guitar playing, moving lyrics and is a sonic masterpiece.  https://youtu.be/3k_xkhoq7YM
@timothywright, I simply listed a great album full of spirituality, and in reply, you derail your own thread....or, what is your intent?  
Anyway, beside "Dragon's Jaw", another of Cockburn's albums written during his world traveling was "Humans".  Both are full of talent and depth.  




"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." djones51
I don’t hear many complaints from groups about the programs they have paid into. You come into this world helpless, and you go out the same way.  That's what they are there for. 
Did you know that "Turn! Turn! Turn!" is from Ecclesiastes 3:1? Don’t let it ruin the song for you......
About religions---I like 'em all.
