I've been listening to the band for well over 10 years, and this is a question that has popped up again and again with each new album that is released--what are the various member's thoughts and practices when it comes to a belief system? Several song titles, or lyrics point in the direction of some sort of a belief but I've never really seen it breached in interview or fully in a song. I think "Do You Believe In Rapture" is probably the closest I've heard to a blatant reference.

Thurston grew up Catholic and has professed in interviews to a belief in
a higher power. Kim is an avowed atheist. Lee and Steve are smart enough to not discuss religion in interviews.

Thurston was quite interested in Buddhism at one point, wasn't he? Dunno if he still is.

Steve represents the Amalgamated Worship Societies of Steve Shelley, or at least did, when he talked about it in a '96 interview. As far as I know Thurston and Kim are now practicing Scientologists, if you've been following the close friendship between them and the other tabloid darlings Posh and Becks.. Lee I would assume is Catholic because he's got that colour in him, hasn't he?

I actually have read this or heard it somewhere. I think it was in accordance with the Sister album and Schizophrenia. The songs are inspired by Valis by Dick, but I somehow remember Thurston discussing his upbringing. |
