Editing Stan Rice (section)

==Personal life==
Rice was an atheist.{{refn|group=note|Reviewing Anne Rice's Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt, Matt Thorne noted: "In a long author's note, Rice explains how she experienced an old-fashioned, strict Roman Catholic childhood in the 1940s and 1950s, before leaving the Church at 18 due to sexual pressure and her desire to read authors she considered forbidden to her, such as Kierkegaard, Sartre, and Camus. Two years later she married a passionate atheist, the poet and artist Stan Rice, and in 1974, began a literary career that she now retrospectively views as representing her 'quest for meaning in a world without God'."<ref name="Thorne">{{cite news |last1=Thorne |first1=Matt |title=Out of darkness, into profit |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/3649059/Out-of-darkness-into-profit.html |access-date=27 April 2020 |work=The Telegraph |date=25 December 2005 |page=7:4}}</ref>}}
