But that's not the issue at hand and ultimately irrelevant. The question was 'does the fact that he's of a particular religion make it harder to take him seriously?' Not 'would you keep buying his albums?'
I don't understand how learning of an individual's personal religious convictions changes the value and worth of their creations. It's not like his early albums were veiled conversion attempts and it's not like his later albums have taken on a big religious bend since his personal beliefs have become public knowledge.
So why anyone has a hard time taking him seriously now aside from ignorant bigotry is beyond me.
