"I believe that I have a relationship [with Jesus] and I'm able to talk to Him and really, He's the reason I'm here..." -Justin Bieber

Maybe it's the "Tebow effect," but according to an article in the Vancouver Sun recently, teen pop star Justin Bieber is "becoming less and less shy about being an active Christian."

Bieber reportedly told his Twitter fans that his walk with the Lord helps to keep his ego in check. (LOL! Walking with God will do that)

In an interview about his memoir, Bieber said, "I'm a Christian, I believe in God, I believe that Jesus died on a cross for my sins. I believe that I have a relationship and I'm able to talk to Him and really, He's the reason I'm here, so I definitely have to remember that. As soon as I start forgetting, I've got to click back and be like, you know, this is why I'm here."

Whether because of his busy schedule or another reason, some eyebrows were raised recently when Bieber noted that he doesn't attend church.

Said Bieber, "A lot of people who are religious, I think they get lost. They go to church just to go to church. I'm not trying to disrespect them... but for me, I focus more on praying and talking to Him."

According to a Christian Post report, he is currently working on his next album titled, Believe.
