Question by SWT: Basketeers-Pagans_ Wiccans: Do you ever enjoy listening to Christian, Gospel, or spiritual music?
I am no longer Christian but I still like to listen to the old time spirituals like Peter Paul and Mary’s This Train or Johnny Cash’s Peace in the Valley.
When I pick my guitar I still like the simple folk spirituals like swing Low Sweet chariot.
I never did care for the modern contempory Christian music
Just because I am now pagan does not mean I cannot like some of the old tunes.
So, am I am oddbal or do other pagans like to listen to music that is usually for christians?
To me spirituals don’t really declare Christianity and that is why they are called spirituals because they are spiritual in nature.

I love Gospel music… soulful and beautiful
love singing it also
Give your answer to this question below!
Sixpence None The Richer’s later work is fantastic, Christian and Biblically literate….
“We’re all dying and we’d like to know
If we should pack our tents, shut down the show
“Yes, we should like to see you pack
your tents, shut down your show.”
Yes, we should like to see a burning bush-type sign
But anything would be fine.”
i will listen to just about anything… i don’t really listen to music for the words.
Well sometimes… I mean I like Peter Paul and Mary… and I like that song Awaiting on You All (which in my opinion is weird just because George Harrison was not a Christian and he wrote it, and I’m not a Christian and I like it).
I meditate to Gregorian Chants frequently. Also old time [I blush to admit] 50-60 year ago vintage country gospel, particularly harmony. Mother Maybell Carter and Kitty Wells are favorites, along with the ChuckWagon Gang and some others.
Bluegrass gospel still moves me sometimes.
But heck, when I go somewhere there’s a TV, if I control what’s watched, I prefer Christian television. Spent a lot of my non-Christian life enjoying and sometimes corresponding with Garner Ted Armstrong.
I don’t know if this really counts as Christian music, but I do like to listen to the soundtracks to “Touched By An Angel” and “Sister Act.”
Only Elvis’s gospel music…does that count?
