It is our goal to list famous people according to their religious convictions. The following list was compiled through various forms of media and is, of course, incomplete. We intend to update this list periodically. The celebrities named may have changed faith since last interviewed, and may or many not be fervent in their practice. The designation of Christian is used in the broadest sense and includes various denominations. The designation of Jewish does not always reflect current religious convictions. Please contact us if you know of any changes in religious convictions. Thanks and God bless
