Is it weird to still like some Christian rock/country songs as a pagan?

I know this could seem cringe but I have a small handful of songs on my playlist that talk about god, heaven or hell from the perspective of Christianity. To me they're just good songs that I also happen to vibe/relate with to some degree. Ik some of us (myself included) like to criticize and poke fun at Christianity and lately I've been questioning if it's weird for me as a pagan to be listening to Christian music even though its mainly just because I genuinely like these particular songs.

Here's a few examples:

God's gonna cut you down - Johnny Cash

God's Country - Blake Sheldon

Workin On - Colt Ford

Crossroads - Adam Calhoun (Yes Ik he's controversial but I just really like this 1 non-political song by him)

The Devil went down Georgia - The Charlie Daniel's Band.

In contrast I probably have over 100 songs by pagan groups like Heilung, Danheim, Skald, and Warduna that I listen to.

Weird/Concerning Incident involving a young child

I work armed security with cuffs at a medium sized religious institution via contract through a small local security company. During 1 of my recent shifts during 1 of their services geared more towards youngs kids and families I witnessed one of the parents with his (approximately 5 year old son) grab his son by the forearm and lead him from the main lobby to the small courtyard just outside the main entrance. While they were outside with me being the only other person around I witnessed the father push his son away from him multiple times and then pulled him into a headlock between his right thigh, abdomen and right arm and held him there for about 10 seconds before letting him go. The son would go back and forth between crying and laughing during all of this and no other visible signs of possible abuse could be seen on the son's body or in either of their behavior outside of this. This incident was immediately reported to the client manager on site and after discussion we both felt this didn't warrant calling the police due to lack of clear signs of abuse and could potentially be just their weird way of rough housing but agreed to keep a close eye on this son and his father. We were able to get his name from the membership log and I was able to take a photo of him without him noticing (we don't have any security cameras on site). I wrote up a full detailed report and sent it to both my supervisor and the client.

Did I do the right thing?

what if anything would you have done differently?
