What is Secular Music exactly?

Your cousin is talking out of her butt. I'm listening to some very fine 'secular' music right now.

i do not agree with your cousin that all secular music is evil. there are many good secular songs out there that have helped some get through tough times, brought smiles to faces, and are good entertainment.
secular music is non-religious music. it is music you wouldnt hear on christian radio stations or used as worship music in churches.

If your hamburger wasn't prepared by a preacher it isn't a holy hamburger.

Sound ridiculous? The same thing applies to music.



The word 'secular' implies nothing about the moral quality. It simply means it's not talking about religion, the same way playing solitaire has nothing to do with religion. Does that make playing solitaire evil? I think not. There isn't anything special about music that changes this, and more importantly for those that always have to have some sort of Scriptural justification for everything, there is no justification for this sacred/secular dichotomy, or for all the hyperspiritual nonsense certain groups try to attribute to music - it's not Scriptural at all. In fact, it resembles Gnosticism more than orthodox Christianity.

Does this piece of music glorify God? If not, it's secular. By that definition, most of the music we know and love is secular music.

I think that particular piece of music glorifies a pagan god. lol
