Great song, that was already true long before it was written, since Christianity first gained popularity up to this very moment, and probably will be for a long time still...
About the association of country music with conservativism, I think it's more of a myth. Real country music has never been conservative, way back since Jimmie Rodgers' days straight up to this day there's been a constant flow of country musicians who were anything but conservative and that shaped all the main delevopments and subgenres. Of course there's always been conservative country musicians and their equally minded audience, but those are the corny ones that never contributed much (accordingly to the very principle of conservatism) and were forgotten by most people almost instantly after their heyday. And the very same can be said about pop music, rock, etc you name it.
