What Religion is Your Favorite Star?

Clint Eastwood

Eastwood was raised in a Protestant family, but doesn't seem to care about that. He's shown interest in Deist concepts and Buddhism. Eastwood was raised semi-religious, going to church every week (always some denomination of Protestant) until he was about 12 years old when he asked his father why he didn’t go to church with the rest of the family. His father said it was his only day off, so Clint stopped going as well.

"I was always respectful of people who were deeply religious because I always felt that if they gave themselves to it, then it had to be important to them. But if you can go through life without it, that’s OK, too. It’s whatever suits you."

Angelina Jolie

The most direct statement Jolie is known to have made on the subject [of religion] was reported by the website A.V. Club (associated with the online magazine The Onion), which asked a number of celebrities the question, "Is there a God?" and published the answers from 52 of them in a September 2000 feature story. Angelina Jolie gave the following answer:

"Hmm... For some people. I hope so, for them. For the people who believe in it, I hope so. There doesn't need to be a God for me. There's something in people that's spiritual, that's godlike. I don't feel like doing things just because people say things, but I also don't really know if it's better to just not believe in anything, either."
