I'm an atheist, yet I love Christmas music
Silent Night, Joy to the World, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, Carol of the Bells, O Holy Night, Handel's Messiah, Mozart's Alleluiah, etc.

Am I a hypocrite?

3. Not at all. Regardless of the origin of the lyrics,
the songs have a musical value and an aesthetic that you appreciate.

This is why public schools still use sacred music in their choral curricula.
