LINK The Most Popular Christian Album on iTunes is by a Gay Critic of Church Culture | Beth Stoneburner | Friendly Atheist | Patheos

The most popular Christian singer in the country right now happens to be someone who’s openly gay, married to another woman, and critical of her faith. Oh, and the album (titled “Preacher’s Kid&ldquo😉 comes with a Parental Advisory warning label.

Grace Baldridge, known professionally as “Semler” (her middle name), has the top-selling Christian album on iTunes. That’s obviously a metric that can be manipulated with a coordinated campaign, but this one appears to be a grassroots effort more than anything else. What’s especially interesting is that, as explained by Religion News Service‘s Emily McFarlan Miller, you likely won’t find Semler’s music in churches or Christian radio anytime soon because it’s far edgier than the music that those venues typically promote.
