    (Trying a new, more mature format for this one guys... hope you enjoy.)

    Kanye West is an artist that has never strayed from the pursuit of something higher. Since the beginning of his career we have seen these themes. One of his first mega-hits "Jesus Walks" was mistakenly deemed "too religious". As we all know, it went on to set the tone for everything that we would see after its conception.

    About halfway through his career, we saw a breaking away from this trend. The release of "YEEZUS" showed that Kanye had taken his quest to find God WITHIN himself. "I Am a God" is quite literally proof of this. But as we all know... we are mortal and no man is excempt from this crippling truth.

    A downward progression from this point forward of trying to find God within oneself eventually led to a breaking down of Kanye West's spirit. His search and longing for God had seemingly led him completely astray.

    Fast forward a few years and we see this fall into darkness become even more apparent.

    But finally, through much inner contemplation and outer-world experiences, Kanye began to realize that he was searching for the creator in all the wrong places. The release of "Jesus is King" marked a new beginning for Ye. Though met with criticism from a majority of his loyal fanbase, the meaning behind the album appears to hold more value than the actual sonics of the album itself.

    Now from the current perspective, he seems to be in a much better place. No longer does he appear to be searching.

    Does this mark the end of an era, the one that we have all gotten to know and love so dearly? Perhaps an end is simply a new beginning in disguise.

    I feel like Kanye is religious, but for him following rules and going to Sunday Services it's more of a therapy then worship. If he didn't enjoy it he wouldn't do it and this I think the difference between Kanye, and somebody who found himself in the religion.

    I think you may be correct, like the journey still isn't over yet.

    Kanye is basically musics answer to a televangelist

    What if he feels mentally good right now?

    I think it’s harmful to comment on someone else’s mental state.

    He stated that his Bipolar was his “superpower”, so maybe he has found a way to use it to his advantage.

    Of course mental health is a lifelong battle, but it doesn’t always have to be a negative.

    Personally I think Kanye’s Christianity rebirth is just another side of his ego complex. It’s still very much him in the centre but he leans on Christ to shift the focus

    Fantastic theory! Sounds very plausible

    Kanye becoming Christian was inevitable. It feels like the conclusion of his entire character arc

    Wait for Kanye's Omnist Arc, once he moves past endorsing a specific religion and embraces sprituality in general.
    Also the Universal Human Rights Arc right after will be wild.
    Can't go into details, as I don't want to spoil too much.

    Yea he's tripping. That started with the yeezus era and ended after yandhi. Album was literally based off of ghandi and every interview kanye was touching on all sorts of different beliefs drawn from every religion.

    nah just another run of the mill billionaire that we've seen already

    I want anti-currency Ye, man of the people Ye, Yeezy co. giving means of production to the labourers Ye. Him trying to create Yeism after reading about Lenin/Stalin/Mao

    Imagine Ye rocking the nude-tone Ushanka with the hammer and sickle pin that he redesigned himself.

    Of course he'll run with the Jesus was a socialist angle
