Linne considered himself an atheist for most of his childhood, and dates his conversion to 1999.[2] Linne is Reformed in his theology, and his 2008 album The Atonement included a song "Mission Accomplished", which defended limited atonement.[3]

In 2013, Linne released a single called "Fal$e Teacher$", in which he criticized prosperity theology, and named those whom he regards as false teachers, including Joel Osteen, Creflo Dollar, T. D. Jakes, Paula White, and Joyce Meyer.[5][6]
