Why cant atheists make moving music?

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.

David Gilmour - guitarist, Pink Floyd. Some people consider him the most emotive guitarist alive.

Brian Eno - electronic musician, sound artist. Considered the father of ambient music.
Björk
Leoš Janáček

Geddy Lee - bassist with Rush
György Ligeti - one of my favorite composers
Peter Maxwell Davies - another favorite composer
Maurice Ravel
Rimsky-Korsakov
Andy Partridge - singer songwriter with XTC
Robert Smith - singer songwriter with The Cure
Eddy Veder - lead vocalist and lyricist with Pearl Jam
Edgard Varèse - composer
Steve Wilson - guitarist lyricist with the great prog band, Porcupine Tree, and solo material. You want moving music? Listen to the album, "The Raven That Refused to Sing".
I covered most of those in my big series of videos earlier in this thread. I've bolded the ones I put in. 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.
