Music and Religion

For me, differentiating between Hindu and Muslim music is more difficult than spotting a Christian song. "If Ye Love Me" and "Sante Deus" stuck out to me as Christian. It seemed like a choir was singing, which is common in the christian religion. I could really feel the sense of community in the song, because the voices were working together, making melodies and such (i'm not an expert on musical terms as you can probably tell). Next, I thought Ang Klu was Islamic music. It seemed like this would be played during prayer, in contrast to Raku which was more upbeat. I thought that the sounds in Raku highlighted the natural world, like nature, which to me meant Hinduism.
