Joe Rogan reveals he’s been going to church for ‘quite a while,’ summarizes his faith

The world’s most popular podcaster, Joe Rogan, admitted this week that he’s been going to church “for quite a while,” though he abstained from outright identifying as a Christian.

He made the admission while speaking on his show/podcast this Tuesday with investigative journalist Michael Shellenberger.

Listen:

“Are you Christian?” Shellenberger at one point asked him (3:21).

“Well, I go to church,” Rogan replied. “I have been for quite a while. I’ve been doing it for the last three or four years.”

Shellenberger wasn’t impressed with Rogan’s answer.

“But that’s not really an answer to the question,” he told the podcaster.

“Well, because I don’t know,” Rogan replied. “I think it’s very interesting, and I do believe that if you follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, you will live a better life. I really do believe that.”

“And one of the things I talk about is, like, the people that I go to church with are the most f–king polite people I’ve ever met in my life. They’re so kind and so nice, and everybody lets you out of the parking lot,” he added. “Like, it works, you know what I’m saying?”

But, he continued, this doesn’t mean he’s a diehard believer.

“Like, does that mean I believe people came back from the dead?” he asked rhetorically. “Does that mean I believe Moses parted the Red Sea? Not really, no.”

“It seems like that’s most likely a story where people are telling it generation after generation after generation. But there’s probably something happening. There’s probably some truth to it,” he concluded.

These remarks follow similar remarks he made while appearing on the “American Alchemy” podcast in late November:

Asked about his thoughts on Christianity, he said he believes the religion is “relaying a truth” of some kind, though he stressed that it’s a “truth” that’s been somewhat lost in translation.

“I don’t think the whole thing is myth, but I don’t think it’s entirely accurate either,” he explained. “You know, like, when I was having a conversation with my daughter about the Book of Revelations, and they were talking about how it’s all going  to happen and how it’s going to end, and I said, well, let me tell you something.”

“There’s no way that guy telling you that knows that. He might be reading the text, and that text, by the way, is a translation. It’s an English translation of probably either Latin or Greek, which was originally ancient Hebrew. Like, a lot is lost in text, and a lot is lost also in the oral tradition, you know, but it’s, like, a long story,” he added.

And just like Rogan’s more recent comments, back in November, he also argued that Christianity, which he described as the only religion “I have experience with,” actually “works.”

“Like, the people that are Christians that go to this church that I go to, that I meet that are Christian, they are the nicest f–king people you will ever meet,” he said. “They’re really kind, and they are even more nice at a church. When you leave the church parking lot, everybody lets you go in front of them. Everybody’s like, there’s no one honking in the church parking lot.”

“It works. So, regardless of whether or not it’s based on an entirely true story, I think it is an ancient relaying of a real event and of the real history of human beings,” he concluded.

Rogan also spoke on this topic last month:
