Some of the non-bolded ones I'm familiar with, some I'm not. And of the ones I'm familiar with, some of them I don't care for (Bjork), some I like but wanted to put something emotive (I like Ligeti and Varese, but their music is a bit too spooky to qualify as "moving"), and I can only assume that I didn't put anything in by Rush because I was holding out for seeing Neal Peart on Wikipedia's list of atheists in music. Then again, with Neal Peart's infamous Randroid phase, his being an atheist would probably have gone without saying.
I am not saying I like all these, but it is certain that a great many people, theist and atheist alike, feel that these people have created moving music.
