in his blogs that he left Christianity partly beuscae of the hypocrisy he saw in the church and the Jerry Falwells, etc.If you read the lyrics to the songs, they're actually quite honest, and some of them are even addressed to God, wondering where He's gone and things like that. I highly doubt he just decided that Christianity was boring and he just wanted to live life by his own rules. Follow fundamentalist Christianity for too long, and just about anyone will want to leave.
