listening to gregorian chants on youtube and 80% of the comments are "I'm not religious but this is beautiful" or anti-V2 arguments

I am not now, nor have I ever been, a Christian, but fy Latin Mass
I can't even imagine being a theist, but have you been to Notre Dame cathedral? It was so beautiful I cried for an hour. Them ancient spiritual folks did some things darned well.

I have not been to Notre Dame; but I have been to York Minster. It was a major experience (although God was not particularly involved).https://yorkminster.org/home.html

I went with my wife, who went to services there every week as a kid, and sang in the choir. She became an atheist in her early teens by having a profound non-God experience while nearly dying in a car crash.
-
There was a service happening while we were there. None of the parishioners was under 75, and nearly none were male.
-
There were far more tourists—wandering around yakking loudly—than worshippers. I was highly offended on behalf of the religious people, despite having nearly opposite religious beliefs and practices.
-
Yeah, it was mostly tourists at Notre Dame and Sacre Coeur, even though services were happening. But I found the spaces so profound, nothing else mattered.
