Hollywood star Brad Pitt has admitted he is an atheist.
The 51-year-old actor was raised as a strict Baptist by his parents but has now turned his back on religion completely, reported Daily Telegraph.

They need you to sit down with them, be there for them when they wake up in the middle of the night.
