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."

It may be mentioned here, I haven’t read the whole thing, but Jonathan Schlitt of Head East went to Petra and John Elephante of Kansas went solo Christian, It is good music.
DC Talk had a couple of songs hit the top 40 Charts.... I’m thinking of "Flood".... Jars of Clay had a couple get in there. PFR & Audio Adrenaline rocked quite well.
Jon Anderson from Yes, did a song with 4 Him called "The Only Thing I Need"   Also, Mumford & Sons has alot of Christian overtones. 
There is actually a fair amount of Christian music that is good music regardless of the emotional connection.
