8. He Now Identifies as Exvangelical
It was May 2021 when he went online and told the world he is now an exvangelical man. He’s had a lot of changes in his beliefs in the past year – since the COVID panic began – and this is one of those things. He told the world he’s been deconstructing his faith for many years now, and this is where he’s found himself. His announcement has been met with a lot of criticism from Christians who believe he is no longer faithful.

According to Christian Post, there is a group of people who “reject all religious affiliation,” and they are called nones. They are also called exvangelicals. This has his fans believing that Kevin Max no longer believes in God and he is no longer a faithful man, and it’s got many of his fans fearing for him.
10. He Doesn’t Feel God is Ignoring Him
Kevin Max is on a spiritual journey of sorts, and he’s questioning many of the things that the Bible taught him. It’s been said he is taking on a bit of a socialist point of view of the world, and he is questioning the things that are written in the Bible.
