Why does Alex Gaskarth wear a cross on his neck?

[Joan]

I mean, he's atheist, so why would he wear it on his neck?

[Beatle Band Aid]

Just in case.

A cross these days don't always stand for religion. You can wear it because you're religious but it's also a fashion jewelry as well.

I heard he was Catholic
???
I mean he celebrates Christmas, & last Easter on his twitter he wrote 'Happy Easter, Jesus has risen'
or something along those lines, that doesn't sound like an atheist to me. But i could be wrong.
