I sing in a local chamber choir. We do a Lessons & Carols concert every December. I could sit out if I wanted, but even as an atheist, there is something very awesome about choral holiday music. We are singing part of the Messiah, a really cool version of O Magnum Mysterium and a lot of others that I don't mind singing even though I have NO belief in any of that anymore.
