Yeah Kacey Musgraves is so boring... The people that listen to critics like Pitchfork sure are missing out....
🤔 Or maybe people like her music because the sound and songwriting appeal to them. Ridiculous to assume that everyone who likes something you don't is just following the trend of a music publication. And what are we are missing out on... disliking something? Lol _________________ Join us in the canon game :) / Add me on RYM

I just don't see how its better than other country artists! I just ignore the publications and I'm doing just fine...
I’m well acquainted with Christian music, and while I’ve been outside of the culture for a long time now, I still try and find an album each year to like. Some of them I would never want to part with.
I’d agree that there’s been a history of Christian culture using music as an evangelical tool, creation watered down versions of whatever the popular sound was, and shoving a Christian message in there. That’s one category.
A second category is Music that is only understood by the culture, when you’re in it. It’s functional, used for corporate worship and such.
There is also a third category, where artists have taken their spiritual music and taken it to the culture at large. An example would be The Staple Singers, who started out as a gospel group, and then aligned themselves with Martin Luther King and became very active in the civil rights movement. Their music was spiritual but didn’t stay within the four walls of the church.
To me, there isn't such a thing as a gay christian when the Bible does not encourage homosexuality, but that is another conversation of course. That girl looks like she has her fingers in her ears. I wonder what she is trying to not hear.
God bless you and her always!!!

I have to add that I never thought of "religious" as a genre. There's religious rock, religious metal, religious country, religious adult contemporary, etc. Any form of music can bring forth religious themes.
That said, most religious music (gospel aside) seems to me, ironically rather uninspired. It's as if religious musical artists think that so long as they're praising god, that's good enough and there need to be true dedication to art. Listening to a modern religious radio station is much akin to listening to modern country in my ear and I can take very little of it.
Again there is no shortage of magnificent exceptions throughout the ages. None other than J.S. Bach said
“The final aim and reason of all music is nothing other than the glorification of God and the refreshment of the spirit.”
Coltrane's masterpiece "A Love Supreme" was entirely spiritual.
There are plenty of more contemporary, albeit less iconic examples as well.
