Can you back that up any further than saying "they're religious, so they suck"? I'm not a big fan of religion myself, but some of those songs, properly performed, are truly works of art.

You're not going to get away with classifying an entire genre as "suck" here. You can claim all country, rap, R&B, or rock & roll sucks, but that telegraphs ignorance, not good taste.

Edit: Illustrative example: Eric Clapton performing "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot"
