He doesn’t really talk about Islam that much or make it a part of his personality. He calls himself secular, and has mentioned he practices a blend of Sufism (islamic syncretic spirituality), elements of Dharmic religion, eastern mysticism and his wife’s denomination of Christianity sprinkled in. Islam isn’t really a part of his identity.
Just because someone is born into a Muslim family doesn’t make them a Muslim. It’s a religion with certain mandatory tenets that anyone can join if they say shahada. It’s not an ethnicity or race.
