===Religious views=== For most of his life, Reeve did not identify with any religion. He attended his stepfather's Presbyterian church as a young teenager.<ref>Reeve, Christopher (2002), pp. 67β68</ref> In 1975, he briefly explored [[Scientology]] but chose not to become a member. He subsequently voiced criticism of the organization.<ref>Reeve, Christopher (2002), pp. 70β81</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Staff|date=February 5, 2003|title=Superman Christopher Reeve blasts Scientology|work=[[The Age]]|url=http://www.lermanet.com/scientologynews/australia/age02-052003.htm|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230306031759/http://lermanet.org/scientologynews/australia/age02-052003.html|archive-date=March 6, 2023|access-date=January 14, 2025}}</ref> Reeve described his wedding in 1992 as his "first act of faith". After his accident, many well-wishers suggested that prayer would make him feel better, but he did not find it helpful. "I wondered what was wrong with me", he later wrote. "I had broken my neck and become paralyzed, possibly forever, but still hadn't found God."<ref>Reeve, Christopher (2002), p. 151</ref> In his 2002 book ''Nothing is Impossible: Reflections on a New Life'', Reeve said that he and his wife had regularly attended [[Unitarian Universalism|Unitarian]] services, starting in his late 40s. In the years following the accident, he had gradually come to believe that:<blockquote>Spirituality is found in the way we live our daily lives. It means spending time thinking about others. It's not so hard to imagine that there is some kind of higher power. We don't have to know what form it takes or exactly where it exists; just to honor it and try to live by it is enough. ... As these thoughts unfolded in the process of learning to live my new life, I had no idea that I was becoming a Unitarian.<ref>Reeve, Christopher (2002), pp. 152β153</ref></blockquote>
