Great observation and dead on! That's exactly what's occurring in large measure. Generally speaking, it is in large part simply another effort by man to conform God to man's desires and machinations instead of the opposite. Far too many people get their information about God from others including music due to intellectual laziness and no desire to read and arduously study the Bible themselves. There is far too much emphasis on "what God can do for us" in a material sense and not nearly enough on the same focus spiritually.
Anyhoo, at the risk of digressing... :D
Agreed.

As you can see from the postings here, there is also an ignorance as to the convicting ministry of the Holy Spirit (ie. GHS cannot bring a person to saving knowledge of LJC unless we help Him out through the use of worldly gimmicks).
