Musician Religon

Religious music (also sacred music) is music performed or composed for religious use or through religious influence. lot of music has been composed to complement religion, and many composers have derived some inspiration from their religions. Many forms of traditional music have been adapted to fit religions' purposes or descended from religious music. But how is modern day Pop/Rock/Hip-Hop influenced by religion and is it really reflected in music or meanings of music??? Or does it make you want to love or hate a band? or do you even care what religion your favourite musician worships?
