Religious music for less than devout

We have a thread " Jazz for someone who doesn’t like jazz. " In a similar vein perhaps "Religious music for the less than devout".

"people get ready" - Rod Stewart
"Amazing Grace" - Jessye Norman
2009 "Duets" - Five Blind Boys of Alabama, The - entire CD
1988 "Sweet Fellowship" - Acappella, the entire CD

In 1989 I was working in NJ, I may have been the only guy on the job who did not know he was working for the Irish Mafia. I would lend people the CD "Sweet Fellowship" and they were willing to pay for it but never return it:

"Here is $20 kid, go buy yourself another cuz youz can’t have mine back. Now don’t ever ask me again."

Consider choral music from great Elizabethans:
Thomas Tallis: especially the 40 part harmony - sounds like science fiction, even today - imagine what it must have been like for the Elizabethans
William Byrd: Masses for 3,4 and 5 voices

Monteverdi was not bad either.

Cantate Domino on Proprius 7762. Christmas carols (which I usually hate) like you've never heard them before. The soprano is Mellnas.
