Is Stevie Wonder religious?

Stevie Wonder is a lifelong Christian who attributes his accolades and success to God. His music career started as a child, singing in the choir at the Whitestone Baptist Church. He said, “Many years ago, there were those who said, ‘Well, you have three strikes against you: You’re black, you’re blind, and you’re poor.’ But God said to me, ‘I will make you rich in the spirit of inspiration, to inspire others as well as create music to encourage the world to a place of oneness and hope and positivity.’ I believed Him and not them!”
