3. I cringe when I hear these Christian bands.

I think that it is because they are so pushy with the religion theme. And they are intentionally trying to inspire the religious and convert the non-religious.

I don't ever get the feeling that I am being preached to when secular bands reference God or Jesus. And if artists will throw in a little "Sympathy for the Devil", I can accept it if they also have some religious reference in a song.

I would not have gone to this event if it were me. Even if it were gospel music, which I rather enjoy, it would have been ok. But Christian rock or folk music really turns me off.
