The 36-year-old Canadian musician went on to write that losing his religion occurred over several years as he began sharing his doubts to close friends. Steingard said he felt like this was the right time to make the announcement given that his band is on hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Hawk Nelson issued a statement on Wednesday supporting Steingard following his announcement that he would be leaving the Christian rock band. “One of our best friends, one with whom we have walked, worked and lived alongside for 20 + years revealed some of his innermost feelings on his faith journey this past week,” read the band’s statement posted on Instagram. “Our mission as Hawk Nelson has always been to inspire and encourage all people with the truth that God is FOR them and not against them. In that message’s most simple and purest form, that THEY matter.
Welcome to real life
My response to Jonathan:
It's a setup for his comeback album Found the Lightm
Its okay Jonathan, atheism isn't so bad. It's an adjustment but you can live a pretty full life without thinking you have a cosmic hall monitor looking over your shoulder.
If not just a marketing move for him (I hope not), it was brave to admit this publicly. I hope he comes to peace with his new belief. And if he changes his mind again, I must belief God will be there to welcome him back.
You absolutely love to see it folks!!
Our DNA, the way we procreate. Our teeth to chomp food. Our system to digest it. And it all came from nothing? Imbeciles!
He never did. Much like many 'Christian Bands', he used God for financial gain.
The Universe agrees! Good for him.
Morons to think we came from absolutely nothing. He needs to read a book!
TheTweetOfGod moves in mysterious ways
I'm a Christian and this is heartbreaking but also totally relatable. My grandfather was a pastor and he and my family pretty much always let us question our faith, I think that was key for it being stronger as an adult. But I get why for some it unravels a faith.
When the money stop coming, they always blame God.
Sorry to tell you but he's not a real Christian. He's FAKE and the devil is a liar. Period.
Who?
Cheers!
Looks like he finally saw the light...
Can't believe in something that's never been there in the first place. Welcome to a life of freedom, not worrying about a false heaven/hell etc. Getting Sundays to do your own thing is also cool.
Hmmmm very important update 🤔🤔
I blame Trump.
