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...
