Just curious here, but what religion do the members of Opeth practice, if any? I know it's not important, I just wonder if any of it influences their music and what not.

Here is part of an interview with Mikael taken from http://www.metalrefuge.com/interviews/opeth.html
--------------------------------------------------
MR: Do you have any religious or spiritual beliefs?
Mikael Akerfeldt: No. Im actually baptized, and I was confirmed too, but that was one of the things you did, everybody did it. But I didnt have any beliefs. We went on this trip up to the North in Sweden, for confirmation, like this camp. We stayed there for a week and we read the Bible and we had to do our own prayers. But I brought my death metal album, I wasnt into that whole thing at all. It was just pretty much a theme because once you got in the front, you got a lot of gifts. My sister did it, I saw she got money and I was like yeah you know. All my friends did it, so I went there. But Ive never believed in anything, any religion at all.

all the guys in Opeth are satanists. They love satan. One time Mikael told me to sacrifice a goat and rape the carcass, so I did it for Satan. Satan rules.

That's Mikael though. I'm sure at the very least the Martin's hold different religious beliefs, if not Peter aswell. Good to hear Mike seems to be a fellow Atheist though, hehe.
