Is it weird that I can relate to a Christian song (You Say by Lauren Daigle) even though I'm an atheist?

Question

It just seems weird to me because she's  singing about how much God helps her but I don't even believe in a God. I can relate to it because it reminds me of four of my teachers who reminded me that I'm strong and I'm loved when I was at a dark time of my life. But it feels weird that I'm relating to something I don't believe in, ya know?

Answer

Lots of religions and philosophies have a wealth of wisdom in them!  I think it’s wonderful when you can find some helpful nuggets of gold from them to help form your very own values, truths and beliefs 😊

Answer

no god could be like the collective person to you

Answer

Any good song will be relatable even in different circumstances.
Lauren is an amazing songwriter, and she's done it in a way that it can also be on mainstream radio and reach other people.
If you associate with it, God or not, that's great ❤️

Answer

I’m not atheist, I’m omnist. But regardless I don’t think it’s weird that you find comfort in a “Christian” song. I left christianity behind a couple of years ago, but a lot of my favorite “Christian” songs still give me joy and comfort - and oddly enough they don’t explicitly mention the Christian god.

Answer

No, why would that be weird?

Answer

I'm also an atheist and sometimes listen to songs about god and think of them as songs about love, life, whatever they sound like to me.

Answer

As an atheist I like a few contemporary "religions" songs.
