Jack White nearly became a priest instead of going into the music business, and he's one of my favorite artists right now.  But not a lot of his material is actually religious.

I still like some Amy Grant. I'm a rebel.

I love Current 93. David Tibet is a crazy mystical/esoteric Gnostic Christian. I've also liked some songs by Shelter, who were a Krishnacore band.

I like "My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison and that "Hallelujah" that plays in Shrek. The bands are not religious, but you could say the songs are. I don't see why I wouldn't like the songs, I mean, I don't care what the guy who wrote it believed. I just like the songs because they are beautiful.

Hallelujah is by Leonard Cohen, and it is about sex. :p

For me I am quite a big fan of flyleaf and underoath they are both part of the weird genre christian rock, yet still good rock bands too.

I recently sold all of my old Christian CD's to a used movie/music/bookstore. I never listened to any of them anymore and I couldn't stand them being around reminding me of how closed-minded and dumb I once was... I used to be really into contemporary Christian music and praise and worship songs. I still like Skillet a lot and Plumb has a few good songs too.

I used to listen to POD, being able to tolerate the worshiping lyrics, until I found a lot of their songs were blatant attacks on atheists. Skillet I could no longer tolerate after finding the meaning of the song "You Take My Rights Away." Evanescence don't consider themselves to be a christian band, but I'm not a huge fan, simply because their music isn't that great, and that there are a lot of similar but better bands that are less pop-like and christian. I really like some of Johann Sebastian Bach's music, despite the fact that practically all of it is religious and that he was ridiculously christian. I also find some Gregorian chants to be quite beautiful.

My 3 favorite composers are Beethoven, JS Bach, and Mozart (who is by far my favorite). I sang in a LOT of choruses when I was younger, and I have to admit I loved singing many choral songs. The Lacrimosa movement of Mozart's Requiem is my fav piece of all time.

Anyway, one of the songs we sang in HS chorus had a line in it that I still love to this day:

JS Bach. He is cool. He wrote Jazz for Sunday School.

(for those not into music history, Bach is credited with inventing the unusual timings, syncopation, and feel of what we call Jazz today)

Anything by Anberlin. They are not really a Christian band, rather a band made of Christians, but they do have a few songs that have a religious tone to them, but I still like them.

And then there is Matisyahu, who is one of my favorite artists.

And I also like heavier bands like The Devil Wears Prada and UNDERØATH

Then there's lesser known bands like EleventySeven and TwentyFour64.

I forgot to mention Johnny Cash. He was most definitely Christian but was one of the best song writers of the 20th Century.

I also love gregorian chant and a bunch of classical composers who were Christian.
