Is Mick Jagger a religios person?

In the sixties he said: "I'm an atheist really" in NME. I don't know how if he today maybe is a casual religious person, like most protestants are. He doesn't talk about it much. Although he bashes religion on Blinded By Rainbows it's still hard to figure out with him. But it's a good question.

"Although he bashes religion on Blinded By Rainbows"

I get a different take on BBR. To me it appears as though he is saying people are kept from the Truth because they are blinded by rainbows, the pot of gold at the end, which they never find.

I thought the point of "Blinded By Rainbows" is the hypocrisy of people killing one another in the name of God. The specific topic of the song is the IRA. The song examines the hypocrisy of a man who reverently kneels and prays before the image of his God being the same man who callously blows up a little boy's father with a bomb. The final verse notes that when these same people meet their end, they believe they will face God and be Saved ("see the face of Christ, enter Paradise"). Since the idea of God rewarding such immorality is ridiculous...Jagger's stinging "I doubt it" is the perfect tagline to the reverence with which he conveys his subjects' fanatical, misguided devotion.
I don't see the song as anti-religious, simply anti-religious fanaticism.

He had a Hindu-ish wedding once, remember? (not his idea, though)

I thought it was Jaggers idea. By Hindu-law this was a real wedding, by English law it was not. So when he and Hall splited up. he didn't have to pay here any money. That sounds to me as a Jagger idea!
