Ugandan musician Zulitums says he does not identify with one specific religion, explaining that his experiences with different faiths have shaped how he understands belief and spirituality.
Speaking on the Millennials for Christ Ministries podcast, the singer said he has encountered several religious traditions throughout his life, including Protestantism, Catholicism, Islam and born-again Christianity.
Rather than committing himself to one faith, Zulitums described religions as different pathways through which people seek knowledge and understanding.
“I was born a Protestant, but then I was once a Catholic as well. I’m circumcised, and those who did it are Muslims, and I was named Mustapha. I have been born again before, but I can tell you, they are just pathways,” he said.
His remarks suggest that his approach to spirituality is shaped by exposure to different religious backgrounds rather than allegiance to a single tradition.
Zulitums explained that he takes knowledge from different faiths to help him understand himself better. His comments focused on what he believes people can learn from different religious perspectives, rather than presenting one religion as superior to another.
The musician also shared his thoughts on atheism, arguing that everyone holds some form of belief, including people who do not identify with a religion or believe in a deity.
“Everyone has something that they believe in, and even those who say they are atheists, they don’t want to admit the fact that there’s a little bit of belief in what they do,” he added.
That statement reflects Zulitums’ personal interpretation of belief. Atheism generally refers to a lack of belief in the existence of gods, although atheists may hold other philosophical, ethical or personal convictions.
His comments add another dimension to the singer’s public reflections on his personal life and worldview. Rather than identifying himself through one religious label, Zulitums says he draws lessons from multiple traditions as he develops his own understanding of belief.
