I'm a Catholic, but I have to admit that Protestants have better hymns (at least those in English; we have some very good Latin hymns).
I think that one thing among others that is distinctive about real Christianity is the prodigious amount and quality and type of its classic hymns, such as worship God and speak of the reality of Christ in the heart, and of Biblical themes. Which is a result not of religious indoctrination but of regeneration. Thus classic hymns (which stand in contrast to the fluff and inanity of so much contempt-ory music) and singing have histrionically abounded in evangelical faith, as has Scripture-based devotional works. Blind Fanny Crosby alone penned over 8,000 hymns and gospel songs. When i was a RC (lector and CCD teacher) the priest used to exhort us, "Sing like Protestants!"
