I'm not religious but some religious music can be uplifting. Recommend me an album or artist?

Thanks

Not religious either but I grew up in a religious home. Gospel music is still one of my favourites even though i don't believe some of the things they sing about. Same way as listening to other non-gospel songs I don't necessarily believe the lyrics of.

These are some of the ones I remember enjoying back then and still do. You may too.

Anything by Don Moen
Mary Mary - Can't give up now (song) and most of their other songs.
Women of Faith - Extravagant grace album.
Women of Faith- Boundless Love (song)
A lot of songs by Kirk Franklin
Kirk Franklin and 1NC album

Also anything by Darlene Zschech

There are so many actually. Don't want to overwhelm you

Try Stuart Townsend and Keith and Kristyn Getty!

Thanks very much for your suggestions

If you are into that sort of thing (I am sometimes!)

Bach, St Matthew Passion

Pretty much anything by Lauren Daigle, but You Say, is beautiful.

Gregorian Chants for me.

Not religious either but love these songs:
Phil Wickham - Cannons
Luminate - Come Home

Staple Singers are my guilty secret

Celtic woman.
Chloe Agnew in particular.
Pie Jesu.
Amazing Grace.
Ave Marie.

Voices of an angel -

Shane and Shane

River by Leon Bridges

Sounds of Blackness - uplifting gospel choir. ‘Optimistic’ always gives me goosebumps and lifts my mood if I’m feeling down.

Matt Redman
Margaret Rizza
Rachmaninov vespers

Mozart Lacrimosa. Beautiful music. On YouTube they sometimes show the lyrics. Also Gloria in Excelsis Deo. I like the Vivaldi version. He may be the composer , not sure.

Anything in the Taize style. Meditative and calming.
