BTW, my specific is actually a matter of association.
I cannot sing “Open My Eyes That I May See.”
For years before the Lord saved me in 1973, I was very involved in the cult Religious Science (aka Science of Mind). We sang that hymn all the time. Read it against a New Age background, you see there’s nothing explicitly Christian about it. The writer’s hymns are popular in Unity (another New Thought cult) hymnbooks.
I have struggled with some of the same issues. But I finally came to the resolution that, just because someone uses a brick over and over to throw through a window and cause damage, will not keep me from taking the same brick and building a beautiful place to worship the Lord.
