Richard Gere is one of the more outspokenly religious celebrities, and his religion of choice is Buddhism. Gere was raised in a Methodist home and studied Philosophy in his short lived college stint. It seems religion has always interested him, but he became enraptured with Buddhism while on a trip to Napal in the late '70s. Since he has become a practicing Buddhist and a fervent spokesperson for the people of Tibet. Photo courtesy of spaceoddisey.
