Nakhane talks about his decision to leave Christianity

Nakhane recently shed some light on cutting off things that people may use to define him. For him, he is not bound by societal rules.

“The choices that I have made and decided to stick to‚ were choices that were maybe forced upon me by circumstances. So‚ for me‚ I could either be me or conform completely.”

Gave up Christianity

He gave up Christianity after he wanted to get in touch with his animal nature.

“I tried to conform. Before my first album came out I was a very conservative Christian. I really tried to snuff out my idiosyncrasies. I really did. I tried for like‚ five of six years‚ and then the volcano just erupted.”

It was a painful journey for Nakhane.

“It was unbelievably painful but I thought I was doing it for Jesus. I ended my relationship with Jesus Christ. We were happy for the first two years‚ but then I realised that there were other men out there. I mean‚ he does say he’s jealous. That’s never good‚” he said.

It is however recently that Nakhane realized just how different he is.

“I know that now and I’ve been meeting a lot of people. When you compare your decisions‚ which seem completely rational to you‚ and how people react to them‚ then you realise how different you are.”
