There's lots of great sacred music that was either written in Latin or put in a choral setting in Latin. And there's some in other languages too.
I love to go in old churches and check out the artwork. I watch the Pope saying midnight mass on Christmas Eve because I love to see the great art and architecture that Bernini and Michelangelo created. We learned about it in art history.
I've been accused by some here of hating everything about Christianity. That is not true. I don't think liking sacred music or religious art and being an atheist makes you a hypocrite. I think it makes you a person that appreciates profound art, whether it was motivated by devotion to God or by something else non-religious.
