is there any religion that does not allow music of any kind?

Question

Remember, chanting and mantras count as music, since they are rhythmic.

Answer 1

In the U.S., the Churches of Christ (as opposed to the United Church of Christ, which is a very different denomination) only use a capella music. They view instruments as unbiblical. There are a few isolated groups I know of that view hymnbooks as being from the devil because they're not mentioned in the Bible, and will only use melodies that are made up at the moment (these groups are dying out). But despite these unique stances on music, they're still using music. I don't know of a group offhand that has completely banned music altogether.
