Benson Boone grew up in the Mormon Church, but he has stated that he is not a practicing member of the Mormon faith, nor a member of the Church of Latter Day Saints. He has noted in recent interviews that even as he was growing up he was pretty suspicious of the Mormon faith, saying in one interview, “ Growing up, a lot of people at church would talk about these experiences that they've had and these personal revelations and feelings and voices. I never felt it as physically present as they did, and so I was always confused and frustrated.”

With that said, Benson still accepts (and appreciates) the impact that Mormonism has had on his life and his music, but he just wants to exercise his faith in a more personal way. In the same interview, he said, “I don't want to be a part of one religion. I have my own opinions. Some are from this religion, some are from this religion, some are from no religion.”

While Chirstianity may have had an impact on Boone’s music, it’s probably a stretch to call him a Christian artist. What do you think? Does an artist who left one denomination of Christianity but still identifies with some of its values count as a Christian artist?
