I’m guessing you would still dislike it if he was pure as the driven snow.

It's possible; but not because I'm a religious bigot. For instance, I enjoy the music of one of the worst creeps out of pop culture, Frank Sinatra. But I do think the deeper levels of a composer's soul are revealed in their aspirational music, which, when it is devoted to the higher realms, is mathematically crystalline like Bach's. Sinatra, on the other hand, was just trying to entertain people who party in lounges.
