What religion is Brad Pitt? Is Brad Pitt an atheist?
Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt has told GQ Magazine that although he called himself an atheist, he never really was.
The 58-year-old actor said: “I grew up with Christianity. Always questioned it, but it worked at times. And then when I got on my own, I completely left it and I called myself agnostic.
He added that he was raised in a Baptist household and characterised that religion as being “cleaner, stricter, by-the-book Christianity.”
After that, he said that his parents had joined a “more charismatic movement that got into speaking in tongues and raising your hands” while he was a high school student.
Pitt provided a critical assessment of his parents’ religion but provided some justification for speaking in tongues by saying: “They do, I’m sure of it. They’re publishing something, I know that. We’re complex, by God.”
