It's a great song.  I've put on Civ 4 a lot just to listen to the song.

The Civ 1 SNES theme is awesome too.

 

If anyone wants to complain about the Christian meaning, i'd just say

Shut up, you wouldn't of known anyway, and besides it wasn't used for any particular religious meaning, and just because it was a great song that fit civilization.


Besides, the way Religions work in Civilization 4 are rather hilarious and somewhat insulting.  They spread like virus weather you want them too or not, main motivation is to cause external strife among neighbors and later on make money.


Agreed about the song, and it's great to hear it win something because I was utterly blown away when I first launched Civ 4 (to be fair the title screen background was pretty sweet too).

At the bolded however, I was under the impression that that's how religion worked overall. At least Christianity and Islam.

Nice to see it get some recognition. It's a beautiful tune, religious or not, and fits the series well.

Brentalfloss even did some re-wording of it to all of those that hate the fact that it's religious:

I've loved this song ever since the game came out in 2005. I always kept the original main menu, even through the expansion packs, just to listen to it everytime I played. <3

At the main menu select "Advanced", then "Options" then select the "Graphics" tab and finally select "Civilization IV" from the "Opening Menu" drop down list. Enjoy Baba Yetu everytime you play Civ4! xD
