I’m an atheist and I like a lot of songs by Skillet, a few by BarlowGirl, Beautiful Tonight by Krystal Meyers, On and On by Tenth Avenue North, When She Cries by Britt Nicole, and a few more. Good music is good music, and vague references to religion (that could easily be interpreted in other ways) don’t bother me in the least.

Brian “Head” Welch, Alice Cooper, Megadeth, Stryper, Bride, White Cross, U2… I think Johnny Cash is probably my favorite though. He struggled with some serious addictions, and with the help and grace from God, was able to beat them.

A couple of songs from skillet are great… like “Whispers in the dark” and “Better then drugs.” But when i first herd them i thought that they had a different meaning to them xP

Music is just music, I reckon. There’s this song I like by Brian Littrell (of the Backstreet Boys) – Welcome Home.

Thanks for the Billy Connolly youtube link, that was pure priceless godless gold. Had to blog that.

Did anyone ever get into the Christian cover band, The Apologetix… they used to cover ‘worldly’ songs into Xtian, eg. The Bethlemian Rhapsody, or Shepherd’s Paradise and so on… a bit like how Porno movies rip off mainstream movie titles… like Edward Penishands… well, you get the picture.

Being in Greece, the only christian music widely available is Greek Orthodox hymns, so I was unaware of modern Christian-themed music as a genre until I found the Internet and scratched my head at the concept of a "Christian rock station". While I had heard songs referencing christianity or general religious themes, the first non-hymnal songs I heard that I thought as unambiguously christian came from Michael W Smith. As a sidenote, Billy Connolly commented hilariously on christian rockers here

Okay, maybe this isn’t “Christian,” but George Harrison’s My Sweet Lord makes me choke up every freakin’ time.

I’m surprised no one mentioned Kiss Me by Sixpence None the Richer. I love that song.

I personally enjoy “The Man Comes Around” by the late Johnny Cash. I also enjoy the “Dies Irae” segment of Verdi’s “Requiem.” (I think both reflect my fondness for music of an eschatological bent).
