Anne Rice is still committed to Jesus, just not Christianity the religion:
Sometimes I feel this way: committed to Christ and not the institution.
Author Anne Rice Quits “Being a Christian” | NBC Los Angeles“For those who care, and I understand if you don't: Today I quit being a Christian. I'm out,” Rice wrote. “I remain committed to Christ as always but not to being 'Christian' or to being part of Christianity. “
Rice wrote that for 10 years she’s tried and “failed” to fit in with followers of "this quarrelsome, hostile, disputatious, and deservedly infamous group.”
“In the name of Christ, I refuse to be anti-gay. I refuse to be anti-feminist. I refuse to be anti-artificial birth control. I refuse to be anti-Democrat. I refuse to be anti-secular humanism. I refuse to be anti-science. I refuse to be anti-life,” wrote Rice, whose son Christopher is an openly gay author. “In the name of ...Christ, I quit Christianity and being Christian. Amen.”
Sometimes I feel this way: committed to Christ and not the institution.
