"Selling Jesus" is a song by Skunk Anansie, released as their debut single. Although Skunk Anansie previously released "Little Baby Swastikkka" as a limited release, it was not regarded as an actual single. "Selling Jesus" is a song in protest of religion and politics, and in particular Christianity. The single is taken from their debut album "Paranoid and Sunburnt". Three added B-Sides were included on the CD release. The song was also included on the soundtrack to the motion picture "Strange Days".

"They're selling Jesus again" "They're selling Jesus again" "They want your soul and your money your blood and your votes" "They're selling Jesus again" "Selling love to you - selling love"
