Author Anne Rice is getting thousands of hits on her Facebook page for her posting that she has quit Christianity.

According to AP:

The 68-year-old author wrote Wednesday on her Facebook page that she refuses to be "anti-gay ... anti-feminist," and "anti-artificial birth birth control."

She adds that "In the name of ... Christ, I quit Christianity and being Christian. Amen."

Her publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, confirmed Thursday that the posting was by Rice.

Rice is best known for "Interview With a Vampire" and other gothic novels. Raised as a Catholic, she had rejected the church early in her life, but renewed her faith in recent years and in 2008 released the memoir "Called Out of Darkness: A Spiritual Confession."

More recent Facebook postings are quotes from the Bible with no commentary from Rice.

I read much of "Called Out of Darkness" when it was released and found it confusing and disjointed. I also chatted with her in 2008 about her conversion.
