      In 2011, Insane Clown Posse appeared on Attack of the Show! and repudiated claims that they were a Christian band.[163] Bruce explained that their Dark Carnival mythology “comes from the basic principle of right and wrong, you know. Evil and good. That’s all. We’re just trying to say that there’s bad guys out there and that there’s good guys out there […] We were taught there’s a heaven and a hell, but that’s all we were taught. We weren’t taught about the [Ten] Commandments [… or] what’s in the Bible and all that. We just […] want to see good people hopefully go to heaven, which we refer to as Shangri-La”.[163] Joseph Utsler explained in a 2002 interview with Craig Markley that “God is in your heart […] In my definition, it doesn’t matter what creed, religion, or group you belong to. If you’re doing what’s right and are a good person, then you’re right with God.”[164] Bruce and Utsler have also stated that they are not certain that God and the afterlife exist, but that they’d like to believe that there is something after death.[165]
