Bono, U2's lead singer, is once again urging Christians to support the human rights causes he cares most about. In order to gain that evangelical support, Bono has increased his profile as a believer in Christ. Yet, not everyone takes his comments on faith, accepting that the same man who swore on national television should also be leading evangelicals to stop AIDS in Africa. Below, find Christianity Today's coverage of the curious Irishman.
