MARILYN Manson has appeared with Kanye West at a Sunday Service Livestream event. 

The appearance led to closer examination of the religious views of 52-year-old Manson, also known as Brian Hugh Warner.

Is Marilyn Manson a Christian?

There has been speculation that the rocker may indeed now be a born-again Christian given that he publicly prayed with Kanye West, who is now known as Ye.

While he refrained from saying anything at the Sunday Service event, he was spotted nodding as Justin Bieber, who was also in attendance, recited a prayer.

In the past Manson has revealed he was raised as a Christian but has been associated with Satanism.

Did he go to church with Kanye West?

Kanye, 44, invited Marilyn as his guest at his Sunday Service Livestream event. 

The Sunday Service was held on a rooftop, where a number of songs were performed such as No Child Left Behind, Hurricane, and Come To Life.

Marilyn was dressed in white and had his face covered up with a matching mask.

During the Service, Kanye - also dressed in white - placed his hands on the rocker's shoulders.

The two appeared to have embraced each other.

What has Marilyn Manson said on religion?

Manson once referred to himself as "God of F***" and has been very open about his involvement with the Church Of Satan.

The Personal Jesus singer had written in his 1998 biography The Long Hard Road Out Of Hell, that the Church of Satan's founder Anton Szandor LaVey had even ordained him as a minister. 

He said: “Near the end of our visit, he said, ‘I want to make you a Reverend’ and gave me a crimson card certifying me as a minister in the Church of Satan.

“It was like an honorary degree from a university.”

In an interview with Larry King in 2019, Manson spoke out about his religious views and his belief in spirituality.

He said: “I'm not a misanthrope. I'm not a nihilist. I'm not an atheist. I believe in spirituality, but it really has to come from somewhere else.”

He also revealed that he was “raised Christian”.

He told King: “I went to a Christian school, because my parents wanted me to get a better education.

“But when I got kicked out I was sent to public school, and got beat up more by the public school kids. But then I'd go to my friend's Passover and have fun.”
