Not just government but now the corporate world ... I saw a news report that 
chilled my spine about the rise in popularity of Christian rock, the fastest 
growing segment of the pop market and now 7% of all record sales. That's OK, 
I don't have a problem with that at all (and even though I'm not a 
subscriber, there's a Jars Of Clay song that I really dig, "Five Candles").

But now, corporations like Chevrolet/GM are taking notice and sponsoring huge 
Christian rock tours, complete with worship service, in order to attract 
customers. And it's working; fans of the sponsored bands are flocking into 
Chevrolet dealerships to buy cars.

"One corporation, under God, with liberty and justice for none."
