Keanu Reeves is often quiet when it comes to talking about his religious beliefs. This has made his fans curious to know if he follows any religion.

Many people began assuming that Reeves was Christian because he studied at a Christian school. However, when A Daily Beast reporter asked directly about his religious beliefs, the actor provided some clarity. He explained that he had enrolled in a Catholic boy’s school for a year, primarily to pursue his passion for playing hockey.

Later in 2020, Reeves was again subjected to speculation about his Christian religious beliefs when he shared a photo of himself holding a Greek Orthodox Icon of the Virgin Mary. However, his loyal fans were quick to come to his defense, highlighting that holding an icon does not provide definitive evidence of one’s belief in Christ.

Moreover, following his portrayal of Prince Siddhartha in the 1993 drama film Little Buddha, the actor became the subject of rumors suggesting that he was a Buddhist. 

These rumors gained further traction when Reeves took part in a documentary titled Discovering Buddhism, where he served as a co-narrator alongside Richard Gere, a prominent advocate of Buddhism. 

In this documentary, the duo explores the principles, history, and theology of the religion, delving into its core teachings and practices. Reeves’ involvement in this project not only reinforced the speculation surrounding his connection to Buddhism but also showcased his interest and willingness to engage with the subject matter on a deeper level. 

However, even though he engaged in projects connected to Buddhism, he explicitly denied being a Buddhist and clarified, “I discovered that Buddhism teaches the absence of self and ego. I may not identify as a Buddhist, but I have certainly learned to embrace death as an integral part of a new life.”

Keanu Reeves’ perspective on religion

Although Reeves has not explicitly divulged his personal religious beliefs, he indicates a tendency towards an independent or non-conventional perspective on matters of faith.

During his appearance on The Late Show, the actor was asked about his thoughts on what happens after death. He responded, “I know the ones who love us will miss us.” Reeves intentionally avoided discussing theological or metaphysical concepts and instead emphasized the emotional repercussions of death on the living.

Likewise, in an interview with Playboy, Reeves expressed his philosophical stance on the existence of God, stating, “I don’t believe in God, but I wouldn’t call myself an atheist either. I’m uncertain about the existence of a higher power.”

However, despite his lack of belief in a deity, the actor revealed that he maintains a profound “spiritual side” within him. In a conversation with The Daily Beast, he disclosed, “I engage in practices such as prayer, meditation, and Tai Chi, striving to embrace the present moment fully.”
