What level of dishonesty is ethical to play music, as an atheist, at a church I used to play at as a teen. Talking an audience of thousands.

none. You can't control how others enjoy the music. If it's an avenue to their faith, that's not on you.

If I can play Katy Perry songs for Drunken 20 somethings, you can play religious tunes for the sober faithful.

There are paying church gigs out there, it's wild.

None? Provided they aren't asking you to lead in prayer, who cares? A gig is a gig.

Since when is anything in the music industry honest and ethical? Make your money.

You're taking their money, fuck it.

It's up to you to look at the church and how much good/bad they do, and decide how good or shitty to play accordingly.

I mean, if you really care, donate a portion of the proceeds to the Church of Satan or some shit. That's what Ape has done when she's worked for right-wing shitheads.

There's a difference between an audience of thousands that came to see you and an audience of thousands that would've been there anyway (festival gig :cough: ) .

But that's beside the point. It's a gig, play it and play it well. There's no conundrum there.

You don't have to ponder personal moral judgements until they start trying to suck you in.
