The Real Reason Anne Hathaway Left The Church

Once Anne Hathaway and her family learned her older brother was gay, they made the decision to leave the Catholic Church and join the Episcopalian Church instead. In an interview with British GQ, Hathaway succinctly discussed the change, saying, "The whole family converted to Episcopalianism after my elder brother came out". She went on to add, "Why should I support an organization that has a limited view of my beloved brother?" (via HuffPost). 

Even though Hathaway's family kept up with their new religious beliefs, the actress decided after converting to Episcopalianism that she didn't really want to pursue that either. In the same interview with British GQ, she went on the record to say, "So I'm ... nothing". With an air of finality, she added: "F— it, I'm forming. I'm a work in progress." Quite a bold statement! It's clear that Hathaway formed her own path in a way that worked best for her.
