Brad Pitt in Parade Magazine: Religion “Didn’t Work For Me

Brad Pitt's Parade magazine interview has already generated controversy, and his comments about faith and moving away from religion are sure to be talking points, too.“There’s a point where you’re un-tethered from the beliefs of your childhood,” explains Pitt. “That point came for me when it was finally clear my religion didn’t work for me. I had questions about Christianity that I could not get answered to my satisfaction, questions that I’d been asking since I was in kindergarten.“My family is all devout Christians. Yes, absolutely,” says Pitt. “We don’t see eye to eye on this one, yet at the end of the day we love each other, we’re still family.”


Pitt clarifies that his beef with religion has to do with his view that it gives some people control over others.
