Julianne Moore – Her Religion

Julianne is an atheist, someone that does not believe in God.

She said that her atheism became a solid belief when her mother passed away in 2010.

“I learned when my mother died five years ago that there is no ‘there’ there,” she said in an interview. “Structure, it’s all imposed. We impose order and narrative on everything in order to understand it. Otherwise, there’s nothing but chaos.” (1)

Moore does send her kids to a Quaker school, though this may be more for the community aspects.

While being interviewed by James Lipton for his Inside the Actors Studio program, the host asked what Julianne might say if she died, went to Heaven and came face-to-face with God. “Well, I guess you were wrong, I do exist,” was what the actress assumed God would say to her. (2)
