Science and Religion through Music?

We see religion and science in news, television, and on the Internet, but what we rarely see or think about is how powerful this topic is using music. The more you listen to a song, the more it is embedded into your brain and to think about what could happen if hidden messages about this topic are in every song is bad enough. Those who feel strongly towards each other (science and religion) will do a lot to try to change peoples' minds and music is one of the first choices. Even when you don't notice these little things it is happening quite a lot. There are even music artists who are religious or scientific and they may include some hidden messages in their music when you don't even notice. Billions of people listen to and love music which makes this a great tool to spread pretty much any message throughout the world. Music can be used to make groups of people get along and to stop spreading hate. More songs that are made for peace or changing the world should also include lyrics like "believe what you want to believe and don't let others change you." The whole music industry should also team up for writing songs about this social issue, just like they do other situations such as war and natural disasters. I know this issue may not be as big as those two mentioned but it contributes slightly to tragic problems like war.
