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."

On that same album set by the Garcia Band was ‘My Brothers and Sisters’, right before ‘I shall be Released’. Forgot about that one.
Jerry Garcia Band, ‘I Shall be Released’. One of the best versions ever performed of this song. Fit Jerry’s incredible style ‘to the t’.

 I was wondering when someone was going to bring George Harrison into the conversation. Most all his music (single performer) post The Beatles was religious in a very strong, yet sometimes subtle way, and sometimes not: ‘My Sweet Lord’, as example. He became a Hindu during the last years of the Beatles, and stayed so until his death.
