However, due to her son’s (Maddox) Cambodian heritage, Jolie is more inclined to Buddhism as opposed to any other religion. In fact, she has a Buddhist-written tattoo prayer for her son on her upper back. When asked if there’s God, she gave the following answer “…For some people. I hope so, for them. For the people who believe in it, I hope so. There doesn’t need to be a God for me. There’s something in people that’s spiritual, that’s godlike. I don’t feel like doing things just because people say things, but I also don’t really know if it’s better to just not believe in anything, either.”
Political Views
Jolie is neither a democrat nor a republican. In 2008, she had this to say about her political standing;
“I think people assume I’m a Democrat. But I’m registered independent, and I’m still undecided. So I’m looking at McCain as well as Obama”
