It might well be true that, unlike his exact contemporay Handel, he wasn't attracted to opera but he composed in a deeply Lutheran society where frivolities such as opera were frowned upon, and where the music composed for the church (e.g. Bach's amazing treasure trove of cantatas) in some respects served a dual purpose of "entertainment" and devotional music.
