He's not had a real religion until the end of the '70s, despite his father was Christian and initially refused to enlist in World War II because of its values​​.

Then he came up to communism and left as a soldier, as he died.

Now Roger's a christian, but he's often criticized the sanctimonious way to think.

He declared in 1993:

"I'm not a huge practicing Christian myself, but it just staggers me that people who claim to be can stand up and spout - like your president George Bush - can stand up and spout this bull***t about God supporting one side over another in war, which is why I wrote the lyrics of the song "What God Wants": "God wants crusade/God wants Jihad." Well it may well be that God doesn't want either of those things. They're manifestations of the insecurities of the Muslim and Christian communities. I hate when someone uses religion to bolster war in the world: it's extremely disgusting and offensive for me, and for all christians, because that was not what Christ was trying to teach."
