Religion
Rogan stated in 2010, during an appearance on the Alex Jones radio show, that he was raised Catholic, having attended Catholic school in the first grade, but has since abandoned following any organized religion. He is highly critical of the Catholic Church and, drawing from his experiences as a former member, believes it is an institution of oppression.

Rogan is an avid hunter and is part of the "Eat What You Kill" movement, which attempts to move away from factory farming and the mistreatment of animals reared for food.
Rogan is opposed to routine infant circumcision and has spoken out about the lack of significant scientific evidence for any benefits to "cutting the dicks of babies". He considers the practice not entirely different from female genital mutilation in that body parts are amputated on non-consenting children.
