While I haven't ever heard him express his beliefs regarding the Bible or Christ, he does give God the glory and thanks for all of his success, and the simple things.

I personally think that rock music is not a way of praising God. Rock brings pleasure to the human, not to our heavenly Father. We need to sing to the Lord with all our souls, not part of it.
