I still regularly listen to religious music, mostly Syriac hymns, as this was my church's liturgical language as I was growing up.
I feel religion brought me nothing but sadness, and grief, (mostly mourning over the godman). When I truly needed religion, it evaporated (death will bring reality to your door fairly quickly like that).
Religion had only ever brought me happiness when I thought I had an answer, or when I heard a hymn.
I've discovered I don't need religion to enjoy hymns.
I just wish atheists were in the habit of making hymns in ancient languages.

Plato had defined Man as an animal, biped and featherless, and was applauded. Diogenes plucked a fowl and brought it into the lecture room with the words,
"Behold Plato's man!"
