people can worship anything. they can also worship other people. or nothing at all.
go talk to a bunch of car guys and ask them how they feel about cars being works of art.
and besides, this discussion is here is about pop music. I’d never consider pop music art. it’s a product produced for mass consumption, and further, technically it’s produced by an entire team of people, even if we ignorantly attribute it to a single ‘artist’. so if Dan on the Marketing team is a devout Muslim who doesn’t believe in interracial/religious marriage, was the guy who came up with a great successful marketing campaign for a musical artist, is that all that music also ‘supporting nazism’?
the point is all this ‘i must only support people believe what i believe’ stuff is stupid is because you don’t even know what most people believe, nor should you in a civil and decent society. their beliefs should be irrelevant to the products they produce, and most likely, they are entirely irrelevant to them.
But you weirdos seem to to think that my Baptism means the spreadsheets I produce for my work reports are ‘tainted by the ghost of Christianity’ or something. Because you’re so weirdly medieval in the way you think and you seem to think everything is permeable and gets ‘infected’ and you too will be ‘infected’ by listening to music produced by someone who doesn’t align with your own personal beliefs.
no, it’s not.

Cars are works of art. The person who invented the car assembly line (Ford) was a huge POS though.
