4. Hmm, that's a tough one.

While it's temping to get the truth out there, for the sake of harmony (pun intended), I kind of like "I'm here for the music". It would be unfortunate to have the experience ruined by judgmental glares and whispers. It's hard to get people to understand how we can enjoy something without believing in the myth behind it.

However, I wouldn't be surprised if there are other atheists, or at least agnostics, in the chorus. I recently heard about a cantor at a catholic church who is a former Mormon - now agnostic. He just like singing and they paid him a few bucks to do it. He did it for a few years. Now he's back in school getting his PhD. Perhaps you'll find some others who also just sing for the beauty of the music.
