Like Brooks and Dunn "I believe" or
Tim McGraw 'I got friends that do"
And do you feel odd that you like them?
I like those songs and it sounds like a wonderful lovely idea but it still doesnt make me believe. But I think thats in an odd way thier belief helped them make such a beautiful song.
So I guess what I am saying is I admire their belief. Strange?

Sure, I am a country girl and often like country music ( I often don't too), can't escape the biblical reference there. My current favorite is Amarillo sky by Jason Aldean.

Hallelujah written by Leonard Cohen and sung by Rufus Wainwright
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMrZ7lChK-g&mode=related&search=
John Groban -- You Raise Me Up
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit awhile with me
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up…to more than I can be…
Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen
Hallelujah
Words & music by Leonard Cohen
I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Baby I've been here before, I know this room
I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the Marble Arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
I remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above, all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who out drew you
And it's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

I am not a Christian but I do like some Christian music.
Christmas carols can be nice when your in the mood. I also like the battle Hymn of the republic. I can think of a number of rock songs, not to mention "nobody knows"
just because I do not believe in what that music is saying dose not discredit its value.

Soul music. Classic and contemporary - Aretha, Sam Cooke, John Legend. U2 is ripe with biblical passages and allusions. Goeorge Harrison's "My Sweet Lord". Blues and classic rock derived from blues (Robert Johnson/ Led Zeppelin). Jesus Walks by Kanye West.

A lot of Pixies songs have Biblical references. It doesn't make them any less awesome. The Bible is probably the most famous work of English literature, it's only logical that a lot of songs will make allusions to it.

not strange. my favourite christmas carols have always been "away in a manger" and "silent night"
as a pagan, we sing many pagan carols at yule time, but you'll also here christian christmas songs being sung and played in our house.
amazing grace is a beautiful song as well. (there is a wiccan version of that as well)
EDIT: Gazoo (pbuh) don't forget
