George Clooney – His Religion

Growing up in Kentucky with his sister, the young George was raised in the Irish Catholic faith. (1)

“Yes, we were Catholic, big time, whole family, whole group,” Clooney once explained to Larry King. ” I got in trouble a couple of times when I was young because I asked some interesting questions, you know? I thought it was an interesting idea when I was a kid, I was saying, “Well, without Judas, this whole thing doesn’t work.” So I thought well maybe Judas understood that it was his job and he actually decided he would be the — and I’ve written a piece like that. It was just experimenting, I got in a lot of trouble for that.” (2)

However, present day, Clooney isn’t so sure about having a belief in God.

“I don’t have a specific [belief] — I don’t — it’s an interesting thing. I’ll tell you what’s tricky about this. In talking about religion, if you’re well known, anything you say sort of ticks off a bunch of other people and sort of attacks their belief.

“So I always try to say that I, first and foremost, I think that whatever anybody believes, as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else, it’s fair enough and works. And I think it’s real and matters. I don’t happen to have those beliefs as much. I don’t believe in those things.” (2)
