No big deal at all. I'm kinda surprised at your comment, frankly. There are a great many Christians and conservatives in the U2 audience. @macmango — here’s one Christian mom’s take on it:

It didn't take much; I just had to show him a few music videos and burn him a couple CDs and he was hooked! I converted my best friend to U2 fandom a few years back.

Lauderdale), I was thinking about all the people I planned to take to the film during the coming weeks. Many of them boast conservative politics and faith systems. I am anxious to discover how these friends and family will interpret the content of the film, as the messages presented by the band during the Vertigo Tour come across even stronger on the screen. Will a Judeo-Christian believer consider CoeXisT and the inclusion of Muslims (SBS)? What will a veteran of the war in Iraq think about Bono as a blindfolded soldier (BTBS)? The questions aren't new, but this media communicates to the audience in a brand new, powerful way - it's unavoidable yet open for interpretation.
