re: Why does religious music, from a technical perspective, suck?

I see it like this: Most of those guys are good musicians sure, but not good enough to make it in the industry on the radio and touring and such. Then they realize that adding Jesus to their songs automatically gives them a built in audience.

Sort of like people who write children's books. No one gets into writing to write children's books, they just end up doing that because they aren't good enough to hack it becoming the next Tom Clancy.
