I’m a huge Chris Martin fan. But Chris Martin is a Jesus or a Buddha fan?
He’s definitely not a fan of myself. Now seriously, Chris Martin has such a Zen Attitude. Is he a Buddhist?
#1. Chris Martin from Coldplay was raised Episcopalian
That means he was
#2. “I definitely believe in God”
“How can you look at anything and not be overwhelmed by the miraculousness of it?”, Coldplay star added.
#3. Spiritual confusion
He admints that he went through a deep spiritual confusion between 16 and 22 years old.
#4. He prefers Zeus
God of the sky, lightning, thunder, law, order, justice in Greek Mythology, he is preferred by Chris in front of Allah, Jesus or Mohammed: “I don’t know if it’s Allah or Jesus or Mohammed or Zeus. But I’d go for Zeus.”
#5. All-theist
He declared himself an all-thiest. He invented that word for expression THE BELEIF IN EVERYTHING.
#6. Religion in Coldplay’s songs
Viva la Vida
“I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword, my shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can’t explain
I know Saint Peter won’t call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world.”
In a Q magazine interview about the line “I know Saint Peter won’t call my name” Chris Martin says: “It’s about… You’re not on the list. It’s always fascinated me that idea of finishing your life and then being analyzed on it. And this idea runs throughout most religions.
Coldplay’s latest album – A head full of dreams – is very spiritual and the cover suggests that too:
It’s full of positiveness and uplifts you.
Just a few example lyrics from their songs:
“You make me feel like I’m alive again” – Adventure of a Lifetime
We’re gonna get it, get it together
I know we’re gonna get it, get it together somehow
We’re gonna get it, get it together and flower – Up & Up
In most of the songs they sing about ascension, expanding minds and hearts, unity (“Army of one” is the title of one of their songs).
After all, Chris Martin is a day dreamer.
