Ummm... it's natural to mention religion when discussing Bach because most of his music was written with religious purpose.

Now, that aside ... Bach has some most beautiful, solemn music. Love it!

@ThathertonGaston There are people who make both good and bad decisions regardless of belief. Stalin and Mao were atheists who murdered millions, while Zackie Achmat, founder of (TAC) against HIV and AIDS, and Bill Gates spends his money immunizing African children, both men are atheists.

@ThathertonGaston Is it really religion or is it those who either fail to think for self or those who hide their wicked propaganda, ignorance, hatred, and personality disorder behind religion as a cover up? It's easier to reason that certain people must be exterminated, because a deity said so, as opposed to openly exterminate others because they want to.

Oh, and what exactly is intelligence? What's the universal definition of intelligence?

Bach is the greatest composer and musical master of Western Music! He is so close to God with his soaring imagination and depth of understanding. I personally don't know if I believe in God, but Bach brings me to God anyhow. His melodies are so beautiful! His orchestrations so flawless and multifaceted; his fugues so intense and brilliant; his music so challenging to complacency in every way, so forward looking; his mind searching the cosmos for the perfect means to express its grandeur.

@CosmicGrounds People have always relied on bigotry, I was raised in a Catholic family but don't believe in God. Not all atheists are like that. Also please look at how corrupt and violent the church used to be back in medieval Europe. I am not trying to act all high and mighty, history shows us that there is little intelligence in religion.

@Joshuajlawn It's the whole "new atheist" movement where you're seeing these brainless bigots being snooty and what not. I just had a chat with a female atheist who was acting high and mighty on deviantart by telling her that this so-called movement is pale in comparison with the atheists and secular movements in history -- people back then didn't rely on bigotry as now, but their own intelligence and rational thought to inspire the masses.

@Joshuajlawn Bach was a musical genius. That is fact, regardless of whether or not he believed in God. All can enjoy his music.

@MrLivePositive8 Well whether you precieve it as spiritual or more specific such as glorifying the God of the Bible doesn't really matter.

What matters is that Bach, who believed that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God wrote much of his music with that in mind. You may dislike it, and you may not be a christian, but that doesn't change what Bach believed.

[Joshuajlawn]

@audiostratus Yep, even his "secular" music had something to do with glorifying God. That was the reason he wrote music. Its funny how people who hate religion, especially Bible Christianity, but will listen to Bach. That would be like me hating metal heads, but listening to metal! Does not make sense. On the top corner of his music he would write, "to the glory of God". Bach only lived 200 years or so after Luther ripped Germany out of the clutches of the Vatican!
