Yeah, I think he had strong Christian beliefs. He's always wearing a crucifix which is a hint too.

There's a class photo of him out there from his childhood when he attended a Lutheran School; I guess the answer is Lutheran[/img]

:wink: Maybe bit odds with Ozzy-thing, but Randy was into music and I think Ozzy was mostly too, but he was clever to make gimmicks! Publicity pays off!

But if Randy was Buddhist or anything he wouldn't wear one, I guess it can be assumed that if he were religious he would be Christian since he wears that.

Yngwie wears a cross but isn't religious, he said that he thinks Jesus was "a cool guy" I believe.

Ozzy wore a cricifix because him and Sabbathw ere cursed when they were younger. I guess it had sort of become a fashion statement by then.
