9. Amy Adams

Hollywood superstar Amy Adams was raised as a Mormon until her parents divorced in 1985. Once the split happened, Adams no longer followed the religion as she didn’t have a strong enough belief. But she does believe it instilled good values in her that she still follows today. “I grew up as a Mormon and that had more of an impact on my values than my beliefs,” she told British tabloid The Sun, according to Independent Woman. While the life doesn’t appeal to her, she isn’t against religion. “It provides a support system if you embrace it, despite all the controlling and guilting aspects of religion that I grew to resent,” Adams said. This is quite the positive outlook from Adams.

From Disney cutey to Hollywood heartthrob, it’s been a whirlwind time in the spotlight for Ryan Gosling. During his time off-camera, he has managed to lead a rather controversy-free life when compared to some of his other childhood star brethren. This could be due to his upbringing in a Morman family. Both his parents are Mormons and while Gosling said he never identified with Mormonism, he did take away some things from the religion that have stayed with him. “[Being Mormon] socialized me at a young age,” he said. “You have to pray in public, shake a lot of hands, talk in public, sing in church, stuff like that.”

11. Christina Aguilera

Another entertainer who was part of the Mickey Mouse Club with Ryan Gosling, singer Christina Aguilera was born into a Mormon family. In fact, her parents, musician Shelly Loraine Kearns and USA soldier Fausto Xavier Aguilera, met at Brigham Young University. While she was certainly raised in a Mormon household, Aguilera has never come out as being of Mormon faith. Her parents divorced when she was just six years old and she moved in with her grandmother, so any chance of her learning more about Mormon history or faith was quickly snuffed out.
