On his band’s reunion tour this summer, Creed lead singer Scott Stapp is issuing calls for unity and urging Americans to reclaim their freedoms and rights. In a recent clip posted to social media, Stapp proclaimed that our country is “a constitutional republic based upon the Bible and the Word of God.”
Between power ballads, Stapp, 51, warned concertgoers “the powers that be” want Americans to be divided and compartmentalized “to keep us distracted from holding them accountable.” People need to “wake up and take back the power that was rightfully given us,” he said, because “it’s our birthright.”

Creed’s Scott Stapp: Your Rights Are Being Violated
Scott Stapp, 51, was raised as a Christian. As Creed gained fame in the late ’90s and early 2000s, the vocalist struggled with drugs, alcohol, legal troubles, and suicidal thoughts. After falling off a 40-foot hotel balcony while drunk in 2006, Stapp had “a real epiphany” in the hospital and cried out to God for help.
In 2012, Stapp wrote a memoir titled “Sinner’s Creed.” Speaking to CBN a decade later, the singer talked about redemption and surrender. “God [is] taking this mess that I had become and creating it and turning it into a message,” Stapp said. “If my life can be an example of God taking the unlovable…then God can love anybody, anybody. You’ve just gotta come.”
At the recent concert, Stapp didn’t endorse a political party or candidate. But he warned, “Nearly everything we accuse every other country of doing, we’re doing right here. Your civil rights are being violated every single minute of every single day.” Instead of noticing that, he said, Americans focus on and argue about what divides us.
“We’re keyboard warriors,” said Stapp. “And we go to entertainment and become perfect little citizens and go buy the latest trends. Everything to keep us distracted from what’s happening right in front of our eyes.”
‘Find Our Common Ground,’ Urges Singer Scott Stapp
Stapp continued:
The only way to make change is to wake up and come together as one. Focus on what we have in common, which is life, freedom, love, happiness. We find our common ground and we build from there. And as we’re building that common ground, we start keeping the powers that be accountable. We start reminding them of what our Constitution says. We start reminding them of what our Bill of Rights says. We start reminding them that we are a constitutional republic based upon the Bible and the Word of God, not a democracy. Go study. Go do your homework.
One person who posted that clip to X wrote, “The Great Awakening has hit full throttle, frens.”
