“Religion has been oppressive as f*ck for a long time, (...) I didn’t know that I would kind of become the face of religion when really I’m not a religious person. I think there’s a distinction between being religious-adhering to the customs created by man, oftentimes appropriating the awe reserved for who I believe is a very real God-and using it to control people, to take money from people, to abuse children, to steal land, to justify hatred. Whatever it is. The evil that’s in the heart of every single man has glommed on to the back of religion and come along for the ride.”

Pratt attends Zoe Church, which is popular with celebrities like Justin and Hailey Bieber, was founded by pastor Chad Veach (aka Pastor Chad)... who executive-produced a 2017 film that equated “sexual brokenness” with “same-sex attraction.”
