I'm agnostic, but I do admit that there are some beautiful hymns. And there's a contemporary Christian band called Jars of Clay that I'm quite fond of.
Music transcends all races, religions and creeds. That's what I love about it.

I'm a Christian and I don't like Hymns, but I do love contemporary music. I dislike hymns because I have to focus on the darn book and watch the lyrics and music notes on two separate lines. I'd rather be in a place with an overhead projector where I can just focus on worship and praise of God.

I like some Christmas music, just because it reminds me of the holidays and I love that time of year.
I don't like the normal church hymns and I pretty much hate contemporary christian music.

I am an atheist and I think some hymns are masterpieces, not much of the new stuff but the older ones are. Music is music

Yes, I enjoy some hymns, such as "Morning has broken," "All creatures of our God & King" and "For all the saints." However, I'm also gay and I still enjoy listening to Roberta Flack, Reba McEntire, and Barbara Streisand.

I like and dislike songs, not music styles (Although I can't stand C&W and there aren't many rap songs I like)
I have heard a few christian tunes that I've enjoyed, including the round "Make a joyful noise"

aliens: do you enjoy humans? Sorry, my brain is getting ready to go into the sleep mode.
I am an agnostic and I enjoy some hymns, but only the classical ones, and "Jesus is just all right with me" by the Doobie Brothers.

I am not atheist, but I am not a big fan of religion and 'following authority'
However, you are right, I do enjoy the art and music of the churches. The music really is spiritual.

Not that i know of.
I don't really differentiate by the type of music i listen to; all i care about is whether or not it sounds good.
I've never listened to "hymns" or "christian music" that i found enjoyable, though.
