Jesus Walks?

Standing in my friend's room the other day, I heard one of my favorite songs, playing from the television. The song is titled "Jesus Walks" by Kanye West. West, a music producer and rapper out of Chicago, became popular a few years ago. What surprised me was that his song was playing on the trailer for the new movie "Jarhead", being released this Friday. The movie is not about Christianity, but about one Marine's experience serving his country in the Gulf War. I was confused : are they even allowed to play this song on TV?? It sure makes a bold statement, in the title alone. The intro to the song goes on:

We need to recruit all the soldiers, All of God's soldiers

We at war with society, racisim, and most of all we at war with ourselves (Jesus Walks)

God show me the way because the Devil's trying to break me down,

Jesus Walks with me.

This song at one point was the 11th most played in the United States, and Kanye won the Grammy for Best Rap Song for it in 2005. What does this say about religion in our society? Glorifying a song in the secular world that has specific religious comments seems to be outrageous, but, from my little corner of the world, I never heard anyone put up a fuss about it. Being a Christian, I am not immediately offended by this, but I also do not want to offend others that may have different beliefs. I am wondering if anyone considered the impact that this could have. Certainly a large percent of movie goers must be Jewish or of a religion other than Christianity. Would this song prevent them from seeing the movie, even though the movie has little to do with the song? It will be interesting to see what affects this small circumstance may have on the movie and music industries.
