Contemporary music contributes directly to the formation of contemporary worldviews. Whether it is political ideology, interpersonal relations, or your general view of society, music makes you who you are. Throughout the past century, the development of music has always been parallel to specific social transitions or situations. The exportation of punk to the United Kingdom went side by side with national workforce conditions, urban culture, and protest. The greatest concert festival in history featured Jimi Hendrix's historic, provocative performance of the American national anthem as a form of protest against the Vietnam War.

These seven musical artists have contributed to contemporary debate over faith and religion, reflecting the philosophical and institutional significance of belief in the world today.
