Vibe magazine interviewed popular comedian and actor Chris Rock. When asked, "Were you raised Christian?" Rock answered:

I wasn't raised anything, to tell you the truth. My grandfather was a…preacher. He was the funniest guy. He used to curse a lot, run around, whatever. A bunch of deacons from his church got arrested for selling coke. Not selling it out of the church, but you know.

When asked, "Do you ever regret that you don't have a connection to a long tradition of belief?" Rock replied:

That I'm not Baptist or whatever? And I don't have this thing to pass down? Not at all. 'Cause I do have a long tradition of belief. My belief is in working hard and treating people well. All that other stuff is nonsense.
