One of the original members of a world-renowned Christian rock band has come out as an atheist.
George Perdikis, an early member of Newsboys, says he’s lost his faith in God — and that the band’s current members aren’t as squeaky clean as they appear to be.
Perdikis wrote about his faith journey in a Patheos blog:
–
He officially renounced Christianity in 2007 and is now a sharp critic of Christian music and its stars.
The Christian music scene is populated by many people who act as though they have a direct hotline to a God who supplies them with the answers to the Universe. There seems to be more ego and narcissism amongst Christian musicians than their secular counterparts.
