This study used content analysis to examine the use of religious and sexual imagery in rock music videos to determine how frequently such images were used and how frequently they were combined within the same video. A total of 160 videos were analyzed for presence or absence of religious or sexual imagery. The results of this study argue that religious imagery is present in videos in significant, nonrandom fashion. In addition, the study contends that religious images were more likely to occur with sexual imagery than without them
