Participating in art with a strong Christian influence?

I'm a dancer, from Israel. I am Jewish, I would say I identify somewhere between conservative and reform, for context. I'm not very religious, but I still identify as religious basically.

I am going to US for the summer, for classes, but my mom has also been looking for work for me to do as well.

An offer that I did get was a video for a song that an artist has made. I have listened to some of it, and it's quite obviously inspired by Christianity, probably Catholicism?

It isn't explicit, like Jesus isn't mentioned for example, but it's very implied, with things like praying mentioned, heaven, and the idea of purgatory and purity,, but it's very experimental which suits my style since it seems like all I do is roll on the floor wearing tan with messy hair looking like I'm covered in dirt 💀

My mom doesn't really care about the content of the music because for her, it's anything that might make me become more noticed and add to my experience. But I feel kind of weird about it? Like I don't know if it's weird for me to be kind of promoting it when I'm not part of it myself. And you know, with history and everything, it makes it even weirder and I don't really like some of Christian ideology.

I guess I have mixed feelings about it and I would appreciate some thoughts about this because I'm having trouble organising how I feel about it.
