The difference between secular artists and some Christian artists is that the secular artist OPENLY live an ungodly life. Wherein, in the few cases of Christian artists they may have a weakness that has overtaken them, or at worst be a total and complete hypocrite living a double life.
At least in the case of the Christian, the music is [normally] written for the express intent of glorifying God and building up the body of Christ.
