Shocking statement, eh? For that matter there is a considerable amount of secular music I don't like. I find much music to be insipid; lacking in flavor, interest or liveliness.
Let me explain: if a musician is singing a song that is supposed to be meaningful, then sing the song with emotion. All voice performances; play, movie, singing, etc. need voice inflection and passion or the result ... is ... dull ... and ... monotonous. Furthermore, the statement made by some that "It has a nice message so you should listen to it anyway" is ridiculous.
With all that said, there are a few contemporary Christian songs that do move me, and here are links:
In the Light
Water Grave
I Can Only Imagine which was actually a wee bit of a cross over hit several years ago.
Now you know what I think, let me know what you think.
ETA: I am researching why obvious links are no longer blue in color which has been the past default.

UN-supernatural Christianity?
Talking to a friend the other day our discussion turned to faith. I had heard from a mutual friend that he is a Christian, and he stated that during our conversation. I was a bit stunned though that he also stated he does not believe in the supernatural. When I asked him if he did not find that to be a bit strange, after all Jesus Christ, God, the Holy Spirit, Heaven, angels, etc. are all outside of the realm of our natural world, he informed me he does not take the Bible literally (because it was written by men) and he wanted to discuss the meaning of supernatural. I suggested that he should be lawyer.
