I'm Agnostic But I Still Enjoy Gospel Music & Hymns. Atheists Do You Too? by Codedrock(m): 5:54pm On Mar 09, 2018 |
Hello guys.. I'm Agnostic, I still love gospel music and the hyme book. I don't know about you guys religion maybe shady but the music is lit.. Most especially the hyme book. The songs are great.. I was a chorinster. I still sing many gospel songs.. Cos I enjoy it. Of course I don't believe in them, but the melody and some lyrics still gets me singing and emotional sometimes matter of fact I make myself get emotional to the music sometimes cos it makes me enjoy the music more.. I was talking with a couple atheists days ago about how I still sing some gospel songs and they were like I haven't truly let go Christianity and I tried explaining to them I am a great music lover and that listening/singing to gospel music for me now is like listening to a normal pop song.. I tried to explain to them its all about the music... I even told them the fact I am able to still enjoy gospel music as a normal music shows how not into religion I am. But they still felt I am supposed to ignore gospel music.. Either ways.. The reason I created this post is to actually ask atheists/deists/agnostics here that were formally Christian if you guys actually forced yourselves to stop listening or enjoying any Christian music... Cos I think that would be a bit weird and too serious.. 1 Like 1 Share |

There are many christian songs with lovely melodies. I appreciate and listen to them. I have two Islamic songs that I listen to as well because of their lovely melodies. 7 Likes |

I enjoy Les Miserables, which is a Christian Musical. It’s a story about an ex-con, Jean Valjean, whose life was transformed after a priest inspired him to dedicate his life to serving God by helping people. His last words were, “forgive me all my trespasses and take me to your glory.” Many of the key songs make references to God but the fictional characters’ belief in a fictional diety doesn’t affect my enjoyment of the music at all. However, I rarely sing gospel songs or worship songs. I like some gospel hymns but the lyrics make me cringe, so I rarely sing them. I catch myself humming church songs unconsciously once in a while though. 22 Likes 9 Shares |

I'm an atheist, and I enjoy a lot of Igbo gospel music, especially those sang in the 90s and early 2000s with live instruments. It could be because I'm a guitarist and also a singer (in the bathroom only). Like the OP, I do intentionally get emotional with the songs for me to enjoy them. I have a very weird taste in music. I listen to a lot of highlife music that were performed when I was not yet born. In fact, my playlist comprises of mainly gospel music and highlife. Many times people around me doubt that I'm truly an atheist because I sing and play gospel music alot. The truth remains that I just enjoy the songs and nothing more. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Seun: I so much love this part... No need to keep mincing words, I personally crave to see a notable personality like you back in Christendom which is the right path and I've been taking that up in prayers lol. Even Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook who was raised Jewish and later became an atheist is now a believer. He was asked December 2016: aren't you an atheist? He replied "No. I was raised Jewish and then I went through a period where I questioned things(making reference to atheism) but now I believe religion is very important." Shalom 2 Likes |

Evangkatsoulis:Not all. I'm an Atheist too and I actually have a couple of Gospel songs on my phone. I hum my mother's favourite gospel songs every time I'm in the bathroom cause it makes me feel like she's around. My current favourite is 'Owase' by Benita, I just love that song. 2 Likes |

There are some good gospel music I listened to in my childhood, I can't seem to let go of them because they're melodious with good beats. I just ignore the God bullshit in the lyrics and enjoy the melody. James Arum's Ebubedike vol 1 is one of such music |

I'm an atheist and I've been listening to gospel music since even when I was a muslim. My favourite ones are 'Jesus' by Ada, 'I know who I am' by Sinach, 'ocean' by Hillsong. |
