The lead vocalist of Christian rock band Hawk Nelson and Canadian gospel singer, Jonathan Steingard has revealed that he no longer believes in God even though he grew up in a Christian home and as a Pastor’s kid.
Jonathan Steingard also disclosed that before going public with his belief, he had private conversations with trusted friends and was shocked to find out that his thoughts is also shared by a number of people with visible position in the Christian circle.
He also hinted on no longer playing gospel music as he and his band mates have all found other jobs to focus on for the time being. He revealed all this in a lengthy instagram post.
“After growing up in a Christian home, being a pastor’s kid, playing and singing in a Christian band, and having the word ‘Christian’ in front of most of the things in my life – I am now finding that I no longer believe in God,” he wrote in his statement. “The last few words of that sentence were hard to write. I still find myself wanting to soften that statement by wording it differently or less specifically – but it wouldn’t be as true.”
