What We Know About Nicole Kidman's Religious Views

In her 2019 interview with Vanity Fair, Nicole Kidman shared that the weekly practice of going to church with husband Keith Urban and their daughters led to friends poking fun at her. However, she wasn't all that concerned. After all, she explained, raising their kids in the church was a decision she and Keith Urban had made together. Nicole also alluded to her upbringing once again, pointing out that her own positive memories of being raised Catholic had played a role in her decision. 

That's not to say she wouldn't welcome any questions from her kids, though. In fact, she even shared that she questioned her faith constantly herself. As she explained to the outlet, while Catholicism had been a cornerstone of her childhood, open-mindedness had, too. "My dad would always say, 'Tolerance is the most important thing,'" she recounted.

Nicole's father's thoughts on acceptance are just one part of why she's always felt so strongly about it. As her mother, Janelle Kidman, had revealed in the 1997 interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, she, too, had thought about joining her husband's faith when they tied the knot. Despite being committed to learning about Catholicism, though, it wasn't for her. Even so, they stayed together until Antony Kidman's death, giving Nicole firsthand experience of respect for differing beliefs.
