    Joe Rogan Politics

    If one had to brand Joe Rogan with a political label it would likely be Libertarian: someone that values freedom of choice, skepticism of power, and the ability to think critically of leaders from all political groups.

    On his podcast Joe has explored his personal thoughts on American politics. He’s been critical of both the right and the left, and for average people buying into supporting their preferred political part at all costs of reason and critical thinking.

    “It’s a real problem that we have in this country. Where people are just, “I’m a f’n Dolphins fan! It’s Dolphins to the death!” And they get that way with the Cubs. And they get that way with Democrats and Republicans,” Rogan said in one of his podcasts. “You’re seeing it right now where people have an inability to in any way say anything negative about Donald Trump.” (1)

     

    Joe Rogan Religion

    As an agnostic, Rogan doesn’t hold a belief for any religion. He does have spiritual thoughts but doesn’t have any place for organized religion in his life. “Every single religion that has ever been on the face of the Earth, ever, is a cult,” Rogan has said. “That’s all they are. Just a cult with millions of people in them. Meanwhile, they have a bunch of really bad stories that require more belief than an episode of I Dream of Jeannie.”

    When he was growing up Joe followed the Catholic faith. His mother made him attend Catholic school. (2)

    Even though Rogan has been critical of religions in his comedy and commentary, he expresses a tolerant position towards the beliefs of othes. “I don’t have a problem with people being religious because I just think life itself is too open-ended. It’s too confusing. And I think we’re evolving. And part of our struggle in evolving is unanswered questions.” (3)
