\u201cThe Tortured Poets Department,\u201d Taylor Swift\u2019s new record that came out last Friday, has caused a lot of trouble among religious leaders and people who criticize music based on faith.<\/div>\n

Several of the songs on the record have explicit content. Eleven of the tracks are marked with a \u201cE\u201d for explicit lyrics, and several of the songs use bad language. But the main thing that these critics are worried about is how some of the songs seem to make fun of Christian beliefs and practices.In \u201cBut Daddy I Love Him,\u201d Swift uses images from her childhood as a conservative Christian to tell a story of being judged and limited:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\u201cBut daddy, I love him; I just learned that these people only raise you to lock you up; Sarahs and Hannahs in their Sunday best, sighing, \u2018What a mess!\u2019 I just learned that these people try to save you because they hate you.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cGuilty As Sin,\u201d another song, seems to directly question standard religious stories:\u201cWhat if I throw the stone away?\u201d \u201cThey\u2019re going to crucify me anyway. What if the way you hold me is holy?\u201dSome people, like Shane Pruitt, who is the National Next Gen Director for the Southern Baptist Convention\u2019s North American Mission Board, don\u2019t like these songs. Pruitt wrote about his thoughts on Facebook and told Christian parents that they should think again about letting their kids listen to Swift\u2019s music, because it makes fun of their faith.A Christian entertainment review site, MovieGuide, agreed with these points of view and said that Swift\u2019s album openly \u201cmocks Christianity.\u201d The review showed that Christians are becoming more worried about the secular and maybe even anti-Christian messages in popular music, especially when it comes from artists who used to be neutral about religion.The debate over Swift\u2019s record shows how religious beliefs and popular culture are often at odds with each other, especially when artists use their fame to question societal norms and beliefs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
