Religion has even ruined gospel music for me.

I used to, despite my religious misgivings, enjoy some down home, old school style gospel music. But having had attended a recent gospel shindig, I found I wanted stab myself in the brain w/a dull fork in order to end all the "praise-Jesus-salvation" ignoring-reality-tripe. Though, to be fair, it might just be the urban contemporary stuff.  It reminds me of that palate destroying Christian rock/hip-hop nonsense.  Bet I'd dig on some blues gospel, still.
