What religion is Anne Hathaway?

Anne Hathaway was raised as a Roman Catholic with what she believed were “strong values” and wanted to be a nun during her childhood. However, acting was always a high priority for her. When she was 15, Hathaway’s relationship with the Catholic Church changed after learning that her older brother was gay. Her family left the church and joined the Episcopal Church due to its acceptance of homosexuality. However, they eventually left that church too. Hathaway has since described her religious beliefs as “a work in progress.”
