Well I'm talking about artists who do not exalt God in their songs. But rather sing about, well secular things, whatever that may be, I can think of R&B or Pop singers who thank their "Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" but, it's like hmmm..., I know I definitely cringe when I hear Rap artists thanking "God". Especially when the predominate content of their message is just blasphemous.

I guess in a sense it does depend on the content of their songs. But this can be such a wide range. I mean can you see Christina Aguilara giving thanks to God for her talents and sales? Her career was all over the place, I liked her 1st album - thought it was cute, but not the most God honoring. Or what about someone like Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana)?
