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."

Album from 1996.
European group Vox. The album; Diadema. On this album the group Vox imaginatively adapt the 12th century Mystic Hildegard Von Bingen’s profound religious musical compositions.
Stunning, haunting and utterly brilliant.                                                                                                                           
 
Much of Mozart’s church music, while not as well recognized, is sublime. I love the comment a poster made a few months back, that his wife doesn’t like Mozart. She thinks it sounds like elevator music. LoL! She is in a profound minority. People from Arabic countries have started to adapt Mozart to their instrumentation, such is the effect of his music on them. One thing for sure, I will be listening to Mozart until the day I kick the bucket.
