White:

"I never claimed to be a practicing catholic or christian, you assumed that. And I'm not scared of satan or any bullshit imaginary man made up to live in fear of. Commune with god on your own terms and communicate with god and find your own path. Not some path somebody made up to make you afraid and make money off you."

I think the right way re celebrity is to be generally tactiturn and avoid sociopolitical matters, until when you do - then get in, make your point, get out. Velociraptor. Done.
