Opeth and religion

[Opethian666]

I guess we all know that the Opeth band members are atheists (not sure about Per though), but I was wondering what the religious ideas of most Opeth fans are, and how this connects with the music they listen to. I myself am an atheist. Btw, this is an open poll.

That sorts it
half athiest, half other.
poll finished ;-)

ps other for me is 'just hopeful for something/anything after this life.

I find them quite interesting, but we have gone through this before on this forum ...

Nobody seems to complain about threads about Tool's new album or other topics which don't really have anything to do with Opeth.

Now I wonder if anyone here thinks that their worldview influences the music they listen to. As an atheist, I am constantly on the search for truth, and critical of everything I come across. I think the parallel with music might be that I will always look upon popular music in a critical, skeptical way, and try to find the best music, be it popular or not.
I think that for these kinds of reasons more metalheads will be atheists than poptarts, or whatever people who listen to pop like to be called.

But the Christmastree etc. is ripped of from a pagan ritual, so Christian my bollocks.

Agnostic is obviously the correct choice because noone can say 100% without any doubt whatsoever that there is a god or if there isn't a god.
I'm reading a book on Carl Jung, quite interesting and does make sense in a way.

I would, since I absolutely hate Tool, but I realize that people would just argue with me constantly if I do complain. Same goes if someone talked bad about DT and I saw it. Very sad.

Atheist.

We did this a few months ago. Man the threads on here are recycled. Not complaining, just stating the obvious.

I'm an orthodox christian & today is my easter. No lamb on the spit for me this time. Just a leg in the oven. Shitty weather this year anyways.
