Alternative rocker Tori Amos’s mission is to expose the dark side of Christianity.

“The problem with Christianity is they think everything is about outside forces, good and evil,” she says. “With Christianity there’s not a lot of inner work encouraged. Kids get into weird cults [because] they’re desperately searching for the dark side of themselves. I think a lot of kids are starving in high school because they want tools to do the inner work.”
