Michael Jackson
Pop superstar Michael Jackson was a man of mystery in many ways.
As a result, millions of fans are wondering today if and how religion will play a role in the pop king's funeral.
This morning on CNBC, discussions were rampant about Michael Jackson and his faith.
Although widely regarded to be "deeply spiritual," Michael was not overtly religious in the sense that he was an active public worshiper, as one pop culture analyst weighed in.
In 2006, Jackson generated some controversy when he reportedly flirted with "converting to Islam" after pledging to erect a mosque in his adopted home of Bahrain.
The Thriller hitmaker earned planning permission to construct a ten-story building just outside Manama on land adjoining the palace of the Bahraini royal family.
Jackson, a former Jehovah’s Witness, had spent a considerable time living abroad and exploring world religions.
