Hollywood scores top marks in its faith report
In his latest book, about belief among Hollywood actors, the American author Ray Comfort considers famous stars’ attachment to spiritual values. Reports under headlines such as “I believe in God,” “I pray every night,” “Not a day goes by without my giving thanks to God,” “God protect you and our country” and “Thanks be to God,” have frequently appeared in the press in recent years. This report, carried in the Turkish daily Sabah, concerned the belief in God of such artists as Whitney Houston, Jim Carrey, Halle Berry, Ben Affleck, Madonna, Denzel Washington and Britney Spears.
Halle Berry: “I know there is God, God is with me and protects me at all times. I always … pray. My powerful faith allows me to keep my feet more firmly on the ground.”
Whitney Houston: “I was raised to be attached to my religious beliefs, and I still am. I believe In God.”
Denzel Washington: “I have never doubted the existence of God. I have felt God’s hand on me all through my life. I have an endless belief in God and the Bible. Faith gives me strength.”
