Jonathan Steingard, frontman for the Christian rock band Hawk Nelson, has gone public with some personal news. In a lengthy post on his Instagram account, the singer shared that he no longer believes in God. "I've been terrified to post this for a while - but it feels like it's time for me to be honest," he wrote in the caption to his multi-image post of his statement. "I hope this is not the end of the conversation, but the beginning."
In his note Steingard explained how he came to his latest view.
"After growing up in a Christian home, being a pastor's kid, playing and singing in a Christian band, and having the word 'Christian' in front of most of the things in my life - I am now finding that I no longer believe in God," he wrote in his statement.
"The last few words of that sentence were hard to write. I still find myself wanting to soften that statement by wording it differently or less specifically - but it wouldn't be as true."
According to Steingard, "The process of getting to that sentence has been several years in the making." He wrote that he started by privately processing his doubts and then sharing them in conversation with some close friends.
To his surprise, Steingard said, he found that his unbelief was shared by others who also had grown up in church, but who -- like him -- feared "losing everything if they're open about it."
Steingard said he felt like the timing was right to share given that his band is currently sidelined because of the pandemic.
His fellow band members supported the singer in a statement to USA Today, saying that Hawk Nelson's mission is to "inspire and encourage all people with the truth that God is FOR them and not against them."

I pray he will realize himself. This decision is a wrong one. He will still be the one to lose. God doesn't need anybody to be God.

A lot of Theist are becoming atheist, because the religious leaders are not after God but their pockets.
