YES. Reza Aslan was born and raised as a Muslim. He briefly converted to evangelical Christianity when he was 15 before returning to Islam in University. He claims that he is a Muslim, but he considers himself most closely aligned with Sufism than either Sunni or Shiite Orthodoxy. His views about religion are also not mainstream Islamic, such as considering the religion to be man-made and simply "nothing more than a language made up of symbols and metaphors to help an individual explain faith."
