Is Kate Hudson religious?

Kate Hudson has a Jewish heritage but was raised with Buddhist influences early on. Her mother, Goldie Hawn, had taken a serious interest in religion after beginning with mindful living and meditation in the 70s. Coming from a Jewish background, Hudson still associates herself with Judaism; in principle, however, she is a Buddhist in practice.
