Some people don’t like reggae music, and some people don’t like Bob Marley’s music. Despite that, his character as a non-violent peace activist is often celebrated.

First and foremost, according to Marley, he was a spiritual man who believed in God, and belonged to the Rastafari movement. He was later baptized into the Ethiopian Orthodox Church before his death. Throughout his life, in his music, Marley never endorsed any political system but was a proponent of rights and freedom.
