An atheist probably shouldnt be the singer of a Christian Metalcore band, but singer Shannon Low of The Order of Elijah says he lost his faith gradually as he struggled through a divorce and alcohol abuse. Low recently came out to fans (some already suspicious after the group released some skeptical-sounding material) before this months start of the bands Gods Unwanted Tour, citing Richard Dawkins book The God Delusion as a turning point. The no-longer-a-Christian-bands Facebook page where Low announced his worldview change thoughtfully has been used to respectfully discuss the matter with confused followers, but also to antagonize them with atheistic memes, which, along with the tours name (albeit, a play off of one of the band's newer "questioning" songs), comes off as unnecessary trolling. Though it is kind of funny
Stay tuned, we're just getting warmed up.
