I would agree with this statement (and other similar statements).
Taking this one step further (from the musician's perspective)--Music is the language of the soul, and serious singers, take what they sing very personally. To sing a song, any song, convincingly, the singer takes on the "voice" of the writer of the lyrics. He either believes the words he is singing, or he acts the part. A non-believer cannot sing worship to God without acting the part. This is false, and therefore an abomination to God.
On the other hand, as a believer, I find it equally as difficult to sing words that are not true for the same reason.
