I think the reference to Christian music was specifically to Christian rock, 
the bible-thumping purist kind that has as its only goal the conversion of 
everyone to Christianity. Their listeners often listen to no other music, for 
fear of being sinners. By the way, religious reggae music is usually Rastifarian, 
which is a different religion that Christianity (although it has aspect of 
it, as well as Judaism). I don't think it's prejudiced to criticize a type of 
music that is only bent on converting people, and tends to have listeners that 
are intolerant of others (such as gays and atheists).
