Religious Beliefs

The rapper was brought up as a Christian, but he rejected his religious roots when he grew up. Now, he doesn’t attribute himself to any faith and is also known for his provocative projects with religious allusions. Besides, he felt that being Christened Kanye was deprived of his own choice of religion. (Source: Hollowverse.com)

In addition, there’s a funny moment concerning religion and Kanye West. After the release of one of his albums, an anonymous group of activist created a Kanye West Church. They do not reveal their names, but will do this as soon as the Creative Age begins. The new religion has a name Yeezianity (comes from Kanye’s album nickname).
