Because there is nothing truly faithful about faith-rock. Maybe it's the RC in me, but I cannot see how wavingyour hands in the air to pop music is inherently worshipful. Is it supposed to be antennae to God? PLEASE.
Plus, most of the genre is so incredibly arrogant. It contains lyrics like "I know I'm saved because..." Excuse me, ma'am, how can you be so sure? I am Christian, but I know one thing for sure: I'd rather become Buddhist than be that much of an ass about my Christianity.
Apparently swaying with your hands in the air can trigger an actual physiological change that can put one in a trance state or something similar, so it probably feels like a religious experience but is just some funny wiring in your body, like the way rocking can release calming endorphines. Confusing neurology/endocrinology and religion can be a dangerous thing ... same goes for mass hysteria and mob psychology.
RC high-five! Unfortunately I was subjected to this at a Youth Mass!
