We already know the answer, and it is Hollywood media partisan preferences.

Also, it is mistaken to say Prince "was a very private person about his religion". This article from 2010 below, and many others, told about how he "dazzled fans" when he went out "knocking on doors" as Jehovah's Witness members do.

Knocking on doors of strangers (and children alone at home without an adult present), and persisting with the magazine subscription, is hardly keeping one's religion "private".

Prince 'Freaked Out' Fans When Knocking on Doors as Jehovah's Witness

.
He knocked on doors because his religion tells the members that they want them to.
It WAS kept private. He never spoke of it public,ly. The media never spoke of it.
