Why are so many artists religious?

Rappers in particular? Everytime they win an award they start praising god. I think it's weird and hipocritical for the rappers to stand there with straight faces and praise jesus, when they talk about hoes, bitches and shooting people. What do you guys think??

why should artists, speicifically rappers, be any more or less hypocritical about their religion than the other 99% of the world?
"I don't need your forgiveness, cos I've been saved by Jesus, so fuck you."

Why should it matter?

Thats their OWN beliefs to be dealt with @ the end of the day, whether they're atheists or religious.

They praise God for being sucessful and making money.

Music is entertainment and rap artists don't care about being judged on what they rap about.

Good point but it's just an observation. They seem very holy to me. I just don't remember so many artsist being religious in the 80's.
