I read years ago that Ozzie was an atheist.
Where on earth did you hear that?
The series (which Ozzie had total creative control over) certainly had a good number of Christmas-themed episodes.
And, though it might not entirely have much bearing, when he was a bandleader, he certainly towed the line on any poor behavior from his sidemen.
The family had some serious problems.
Although Ozzie published his autobiography in the last years of his life with his Christian image intact, pesky rumors followed him later on that he was in actuality an atheist. They remain just that -- rumors. At the age of 13, he became one of the youngest persons to become an Eagle Scout.
