Brad Pitt Opens Up About His Faith....

Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt has finally come to terms with his religious beliefs after years of questioning his faith.The Fight Club actor was raised a conservative Southern Baptist and often struggled with the strict religion.He recalls, "I'd go to Christian revivals and be moved by the Holy Spirit, and I'd go to rock concerts and feel the same fervour. 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."But Pitt has since found his own faith, adding, "Religion works. I know there's comfort there, a crash pad. It's something to explain the world and tell you there is something bigger than you, and it is going to be all right in the end.""What's important to me is that I've defined my beliefs and lived according to them and not betrayed them. One of those is my belief in family. I still have faith in that."Meanwhile the star has dismisses 'idiotic' suggestions of jolie influence on his charity work Brad Pitt has hit out at claims he is only involved in charity work because he is dating Angelina Jolie, insisting such suggestions are "idiotic".The Hollywood star, 32, is active in various humanitarian projects across the world, and earlier this year (07), donated $1 million (£500,000) together with girlfriend Jolie to three charities in the troubled African region of Chad and Darfur.But critics have put Pitt's philanthropy down to his relationship with his Mr and Mrs Smith co-star, who is also a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador.

However, Pitt has dismissed the accusations as absurd.

He tells Parade Magazine, "That's idiotic. I do it because I'm a member of the human race. We're all cells of one body. Let's focus on that.".
