He mentions God in interviews and at award shows, and he posts images of crosses on Instagram with captions asking fans to “Like if you believe.” But in a new interview with Men’s Health, he’s pushing back on the public perception of him and rumors about his faith, declaring he’s never actually been to the Hillsong megachurch, as had been previously speculated.

I’ve never actually been to Hillsong.

(Hillsong co-founder Brian Houston was also recently accused of covering up molestation allegations within the church.) At the time, Pratt denied that his church was anti-LGBTQ+, but did not deny any association to Hillsong.

In the same interview in which he claimed he’s not religious, the actor confirmed that he attends Zoe Church (though not exclusively), which has ties to Hillsong, a church that has been linked to conversion therapy and whose leaders have made anti-LGBTQ+ statements in the past.

Zoe Church was founded in 2015 by pastor Chad Veach, who used to preach at Hillsong and told the New York Times that he built his church inspired by Hillsong.
