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."

Most excellent suggestions by all.  

One does not have to be devout to enjoy the glory of the human voice or the sentiments of sacred music.  If you're open to choral music, give John Rutter a try.  Specifically, the recording "Be Thou My Vision".  Sit back in a comfy chair, close your eyes, banish all other thoughts and let this music wash over you...

I didn't think your post witty or funny.  The mockery of that movie is abhorrent.  In the context of this thread and given an absence of music reference your post seems intended to offend - nothing more.

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.
