Is roger waters a atheist?

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."

("Roger Waters talks about What God Wants", a 1993 interview)

When does Pink Floyd start on 'The Wizard of Oz'?

If you start "Dark Side of the Moon" on the 3rd lions roar in the beginning (MGM logo) of the movie, and smoke enough dope, you'll be amazed at how the music seems to go along with the movie. Try it, it's true.
