Cooper has in recent years become more public about his religious beliefs. He is a born again Christian. Asked by the British press how a shock rocker can be a Christian, Alice Cooper replied that it is easy to drink beer and trash hotel rooms, but real rebellion is being a Christian. Cooper regards politics and music as being mutually exclusive. He has always kept his political views to himself, and has at times spoken out against other musicians who have promoted or given opinions regarding politics. He has been quoted as saying that the musicians who were touring and campaigning for Democratic presidential election candidate, John Kerry during 2004 were ‘treasonous morons’. Amid the controversy that followed Alice Cooper released a statement stating that the treason was against the ethos of rock itself.
