From Philosopedia

Bell, Burton C. (20th Century)

A recording artist, Bell is the lead singer of an industrial-metal band, Fear Factory. He spoke of his agnosticism in an interview in Metal Hammer (August 1996):

Interviewer: You seem to write a lot of songs about [religion, specifically those off the album Demanufacture called "Pisschrist."]. Do you question the power of religion?

Bell: Totally.

I: So you're a non-believer?

B: I'm agnostic really. I have no belief. I believe in personal spirituality, but letting a group of people tell you how you should worship, or what your spirituality is, is wrong.

He added that he was raised a Lutheran, likes to collect religious artificacts “for some reason . . . and I was confirmed and all that stuff, but I never enjoyed it.”
