In 2005, Glatze was quoted by Time magazine saying "I don't think the gay movement understands the extent to which the next generation just wants to be normal kids. The people who are getting that are the Christian right."

Glatze turned toward Christianity after a health scare due to palpitations. Worried that he was affected by the same heart condition which claimed his father's life, he sought medical help. The palpitations turned out to be due to anemia, caused by celiac disease. He joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the first half of 2007 but left the church shortly after.

Glatze has written two pieces about his change which appeared in an online media outlet WorldNetDaily. He has also received media coverage in other publications and in the book 16 Amazing Stories of Divine Intervention as well as several blogs. Glatze now serves as a pastor of a small conservative Christian church in Yoder, Wyoming. His story is told in the independent film I Am Michael starring James Franco and Zachary Quinto and the short 2017 documentary Michael Lost and Found.
