The 'Poison' singer - who is famous for featuring fake blood, boa constrictor snakes and electric chairs in his shows - admits he was unaware of how controversial a subject his religion would be.
He said: "When I said, 'I'm Christian now' - wow, what a reaction. But if you're in this business and you're honest, you'll pay for it.
"A lot of my opinions about the Bush administration are like, 'What? Are you crazy?' I'm moderate, and I'm not political. And the most rebellious thing I ever did was to become a Christian!"
Alice - who has three children with Sheryl, his wife of 32 years - also spoke about the former ballerina has had a calming influence on him.
He added: "Sheryl was a ballerina, classically trained, she was a Baptist. But there was a quality in her, maybe that she would watch Godzilla movies with me till three in the morning. I've never cheated on her. I've got three kids who have never been in trouble. They'll go to see Marilyn Manson, but they'll come to church with me the next day."
