title: Brad Pitt Explains Ridiculous Reason He’s Now An Atheist
text: It s just too hard Too Many Things Christians Cannot Do! Who needs rules when you can just live in a godless society?  Have some fun YOLO!Brad Pitt is an atheist   because his father instilled a  Christian guilt  in him during his upbringing.The actor revealed that he adheres to no religion in an interview with the UK s Telegraph on Saturday. Pitt told the paper that he was raised in a Southern Baptist household in Missouri,  with all the Christian guilt about what you can and cannot, should and shouldn t do. The Hollywood mega-star elaborated on the Christian guilt he was raised with in a 2007 interview with Parade. I d go to Christian revivals and be moved by the Holy Spirit, and I d go to rock concerts and feel the same fervor,  Pitt told the magazine.  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. Still, Pitt said he learned the value of hard work from his father, who reportedly ran a trucking company in Missouri. He could be a softie,  Pitt told the Telegraph of his father.  But one thing my folks always stressed was being capable, doing things for yourself. He was really big on integrity   and that informed a lot of what [we] try to do now. Pitt also revealed that he and his wife and By the Sea co-star, Angelina Jolie, originally wanted double the number of children they currently have. Listen, Angie and I were aiming for a dozen, but we crapped out after six,  the actor said, adding:  Everyone talks about the joy of having kids   blah, blah, blah. But I never knew how much I could love something until I looked in the faces of my children. Via: Breitbart News
