Religious music for less than devout

Okay folks, let’s not drift into debates or religious arguments, this is a great thread idea. Let’s keep it real, shall we?

I noticed someone else mentioned Martina Mcbride. She really has a great voice and some of her songs are spiritual for sure. Earlier I tried to edit a post to include some links, but it was rejected because I went over the time limit on editing. So here’s some that should be on anyone’s list of Less Than Devout:

Wow! I'm surprised that no ones mentioned Bruce Cockburn. God is in many of his songs. I like "Nothin But a Burning Light" LP. All great songs and well recorded. Check it out. "Cry of a Tiny Babe" is a standout. Joe

Waiting for a miracle is one of my favorites of his.  I think he has a big catalog of releases, starting in the 70’s.

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned The 77’s, Mike Roe was the front man, I think.  Only a few releases, but pretty good stuff.  All Fall Down was one of their better releases.
