Question

How have protestant christian values influenced music in the united states?

Answer 1

Protestant themes can be seen in music in the United States today. It can be seen very clearly in country music, where lyrics are often overtly referring to God having an impact in a person's life or relationship, or the desire to give thanks to God for events that have happened in one's life. On the contrary, it can also be seen when there are references to how God has forsaken a person and the devil has taken over in their lives. On both sides of the coin we can see Protestant Christian influences in music, especially in the lyrics.
