I am very partial towards Kristina Från Duvemåla, written by the ABBA guys and based on a very important swedish series of novels about emigration to America. I am not religious - and definitely not Christian - but Helen Sjöholm performing "Du Måste Finnas (You Must Be Real)" might be my favourite performance of music ever and one of the most emotional performance I've ever seen. Link to the video with English subtitles.
I also always liked Jesus Christ Superstar. It was my mother's favourite musical so I kind of grew up on it, which maybe makes me less objective in evaluating it. But I just think it has a lot of great songs. Plus the 2000 film version is so wild and wacky in a charming way with leather jacket Judas and Simon wearing cargo pants.
