Is Don McLean religious?

McLean was raised in his mother’s Catholic faith, while his father was a Protestant. In his song “American Pie,” McLean references the Holy Trinity, saying, “The three men I admired most; the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost,” which alludes to his Catholic upbringing. However, it’s unclear if McLean still practices Catholicism.
