of becoming mainstream and significant.
Or are they destined to end up in the waste bin of history for ignoring eons of deeply ingrained human expression by trying to
prohibit and restrict these universal cultural phenomena.?

Michael B, 2 more fundamental directions in the
major religions did. I spend some time in The Gambia which is predominantly Muslim and had some enlightening conversations on the subject of fundamental Islam and Music and Dance which is a major part of life and culture
over there. They considered this attitude towards the Quoran as an 'Arab' aberration.
And not viable in their country.
The pages of Y/A have made me aware of some almost exclusively American sect like
Christian Splintergroups solely advocating
secular music. So I was interested how it was
viewed on that side of the pond.
It is a phenomenon almost unheard of in Europe, and virtually non-existent in Amsterdam where I live, anyone advocating these ideas would be considered ' mad ' and
in some cases a threat to democracy for it borders on an infringment of our constitution.

I don't know what your criteria is, but in my book Islam, with hundreds of millions of followers, is already pretty significant. Their repressiveness and propensity for violence does not seem to be a problem, given the fact that they are one of the fastest growing religions in the world.
The universal cultural phenomena that needs to be recognized is the timeless quest for power. I think ultimately the bigger risk of being destined for the waste bin of history lies with those who would rather dance than fight.

Islam does for the most part and its the fastest growing religion in the world. There are other aspects to culture in which you can express yourself. Poetry, art,etc

read Psalms it is all about singing, dancing and rejoicing
in the LORD. man without music is spiritually dead. " with
cymbals, lutes, harps and tambourines rejoice in psalms
and singing". the TRINITY loves music, it is why it is in our souls!

Glad Christianity does not forbid those things but actually encourages it...
