Brad Pitt recently did and an interview with PARADE where he confessed that he abandoned his faith when he started to discover himself in college.
Pitt reveals that despite he religious upbringing in a conservative Southern Baptist family,he turned away because it seemed to be about ego.Pitt says:
“I’d go to Christian revivals and be moved by the Holy Spirit, and I’d go to rock concerts and feel the same fervour. Then I’d be told, ‘That’s the Devil’s music! Don’t partake in that!’ “I wanted to experience things religion said not to experience.”
The ‘Se7en’ star also revealed he finds it insulting that people think it was girlfriend Angelina Jolie who introduced him to charity work.
“I do it because I’m a member of the human race. In Africa you see people on the street dying from AIDS, children left without parents. We’re all cells of one body, with the same emotions and desires for our families – for a little dignity and a chance for a better life. Let’s focus on that!
“I believe in the founding principles of America. I want to fight for that. I know most Americans feel the same way.
“Whoever said all men are born equal never left his own backyard. I see people everywhere without opportunity. I want to help level the playing field.”
