I feel that, no matter what your views on spirituality are, there is no way to escape it. As much as America is supposed to be a secular government, spirituality permeates into most aspects of our culture, especially music. I cannot think of too many songs that have lyrics that could not relate to spirituality in any way. Love songs, especially, could relate to a relationship between two people or between God and a human. One of my favorite bands, Relient K, is typically classified as a "Christian band", but the lyrics that they write could relate to any affectionate relationship between two people. I don't think that spirituality and American culture will ever become complete separate.
Some Examples:
"I believe there's a God above me
I'm just the god of everything else"
New Gold Flow-Kanye West
-Side Note: Even Kanye West, who has an ego as big as the Earth, acknowledges spirituality....even his own.
Getting Into You-Relient K
We Can't Stop-Miley Cyrus
