In a recent episode of his podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Joe Rogan discussed why he finds Christianity fascinating and enjoys going to church. Christianity seems to have become a more prominent topic of discussion on Rogan’s podcast this past year than it had been previously, with one of the most notable examples being when Rogan had apologist Wesley Huff on as a guest in January.
“There’s a lot of atheists and secular people that just like to dismiss Christianity as being foolish,” said Rogan. “You know, ‘It’s just fairy tales.’ I hear that amongst self-professed, intelligent people, like, ‘It’s a fairy tale,’ like, ‘I don’t know if that’s true.’ I think there’s more to it. I think it’s history, but I think it’s a confusing history.”

Joe Rogan and Guests Discuss Religion and Christianity
Joe Rogan is a comedian, UFC color commentator, and the host of one of the top podcasts in the world. He spoke with apologist Wesley Huff at length in January about Christianity, covering the possibility of miracles, the evidence for the resurrection, whether it is possible that Jesus did not die, and why Jesus was not merely a moral teacher.
In May, in a conversation with podcaster Cody Tucker, Rogan said he thought it was inconsistent for people to believe in the Big Bang but not in Jesus’ resurrection. Later in the year, it came out that Rogan had been attending church.

On the Oct. 22 episode of his podcast, Joe Rogan had on guests Francis Foster and Konstantin Kisin. Foster and Kisin are comedians and authors who cohost the “Triggernometry” podcast. At one point, the conversation turned to what society would be like now if President Donald Trump had actually been assassinated.
The men discussed the rise of political violence, as seen in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and the benefits of homeschooling as an alternative to putting children in public schools where teachers might push certain agendas.
Some people perceive homeschooling as being tied to religious radicalism, which got the men talking about religion. “The great thing about an ideology is it gives you certainty,” said Foster. “The terrible thing about an ideology is it gives you certainty.”
“That is so true. And it’s also the appealing thing about it,” Rogan agreed. “When I watch super religious people that are praying five times a day and I’m like, that is amazing, like, look how dedicated they are to that thing.”
“There’s an attractiveness to that,” he said. “If I was that dedicated to something I’d probably be way more stable in my life.”
Rogan added, “I wish I was that certain. Wish I was that certain. Those guys are so certain, they’re willing to die.”

I’ve got God and I know everything’s going to be okay.’”
