Novelist Anne Rice says she's no longer a Christian

Anne Rice has had a religious conversion: She's no longer a Christian.

The 68-year-old author wrote Wednesday on her Facebook page that she refuses to be "anti-gay ... anti-feminist," and "anti-artificial birth birth control."

She adds that "In the name of ... Christ, I quit Christianity and being Christian. Amen."

Her publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, confirmed Thursday that the posting was by Rice.

Rice is best known for "Interview With a Vampire" and other gothic novels. Raised as a Catholic, she had rejected the church early in her life, but renewed her faith in recent years and in 2008 released the memoir "Called Out of Darkness: A Spiritual Confession."

how many religious conversions is this woman going to have?

does anyone care anymore?

Mmm...Doesn't sound like she quit being Christian, but that she quit trying to be a "good" Catholic.

I really haven't enjoyed much she wrote once she started getting religious.  Her storytelling just wasn't as good as it had been.

I agree that it sounds less like giving up the basic faith behind Christianity so much as leaving the church, which is a completely different thing in my books. But, hey... whatever gives her peace and fulfillment, have at it!

Funny, my first thought was - was she ever?

That said, I agree with Gin. This sounds like more of her old disillusionment with the catholic church than completely giving up on her faith.

The only way I could possibly care is if she started writing like she used to again. *shrug*

If she converts to Mormonism and becomes BFFs with Stephenie Meyer, I will purposely shoot Dr. Pepper out my nose and post a video of it to You Tube. (Or fail spectacularly at doing so.)

I have to agree with y'all - I don't think she gave up on her god - just her church.  There's a difference there.

And I really couldn't care less unless she started writing Lestat and co. the way she used to.  If that happens, then I'll give a damn.

...I think I'm regaining some of the respect I lost for her... Damn.

"In the name of ... Christ, I quit Christianity and being Christian. Amen."

I love the hell out of that line.
