Religion doesn't deny music to anyone.

Fundamentalists, and fundamentalism, are the culprits here.

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned Ollie Cromwell and his merry band of Puritans, who carried the denial of music and dance to the extreme limit of actually killing people who dared to show, publicly, any enjoyment of life, or colour of dress..

There are like examples in almost every religion on the face of this planet, but there are also those who espouse and advocate a life without enjoyment, who have no religion whatever.

In the words of the old adage, "Misery Loves Company".

There are plenty of miserable atheists.

All generalisations are wrong, even this one.
