Mumford and the Spiritual-but-not-Religious

When Mumford & Sons played at the Grammys and won, my Twitter feed was aglow with celebration that "worship songs" were being played in the Grammys. Myself, I had never listened to or researched Mumford & Sons. But, as interviews indicated, Mumford's personal views don't match up with the theology that his song lyrics seemingly emulated so well. So, like Creed and Evanescence before, Mumford & Sons became the next popular and award-winning band whose background is steeped in the Church yet is not, wholly (at the very least), professing Christian, even when a comparable part of their fan base want them to be.

Relevant Magazine has a column with some good points on Mumford and the spiritual-but-not-religious crowd. You can read it here.
