=== Faith and religious views ===
As a youth, Tarantino attended an [[Evangelical]] church, describing himself as "baptized, [[born again]] and everything in between". Tarantino said this was an act of rebellion against his [[Catholic]] mother as she had encouraged what might usually be considered more conventional forms of rebellion, such as his interests in comic books and horror films. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Tarantino was evasive about his religious beliefs but said he believed in God, whom he credited with giving him his writing ability.<ref name="HBOMaher2003">{{Cite episode

In the 2010s, Tarantino continued ascribing his talents to gifts from God but expressed uncertainty regarding God's existence. "I think I was born Catholic, but I was never practiced," said Tarantino. "As time has gone on, as I've become a man and made my way further as an adult, I'm not sure how much any of that I believe in. I don't really know if I believe in God, especially not in this Santa Claus character that people seemed to have conjured up."<ref>{{cite web |title=The Big Interview With Quentin Tarantino |url=http://www.axs.tv/originals/the-big-interview-with-quentin-tarantino-premieres-tuesday-november-24th/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180730170847/http://www.axs.tv/originals/the-big-interview-with-quentin-tarantino-premieres-tuesday-november-24th/ |archive-date=July 30, 2018 |access-date=July 30, 2018 |publisher=[[AXS TV]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Fernández |first=Pablo |date=May 23, 2020 |title=The spiritual component in Quentin Tarantino′s films |url=https://www.entrelineas.org/e/the-spiritual-component-in-quentin-tarantino |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201024012020/https://www.entrelineas.org/e/the-spiritual-component-in-quentin-tarantino |archive-date=October 24, 2020 |access-date=January 9, 2021 |website=entrelineas.org}}</ref> In June 2021, Tarantino said he was an [[atheist]].<ref>{{cite web |date=June 25, 2021 |title=Quentin Tarantino ''I'm an Atheist'', Tarantino clarifies in Real Time with Bill Maher (6-26-2021) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iw8q5Nwl7CY |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210626090522/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iw8q5Nwl7CY |archive-date=June 26, 2021 |access-date=June 26, 2021 |website=YouTube}}</ref>

In October 2015, Tarantino attended a rally held in New York protesting [[police brutality]]. The event aimed to call attention to "police brutality and its victims". At the event Tarantino made a speech, "I'm a human being with a conscience ... And when I see murder I cannot stand by. And I have to call the murdered the murdered and I have to call the murderers the murderers."<ref name="vox">{{cite web |last=St James |first=Emily |title=The police boycotts of Quentin Tarantino's movies, explained |url=https://www.vox.com/culture/2015/11/6/9680078/quentin-tarantino-police-boycott |website=Vox |language=en |date=November 6, 2015 |access-date=October 9, 2022 |archive-date=October 9, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221009052127/https://www.vox.com/culture/2015/11/6/9680078/quentin-tarantino-police-boycott |url-status=live }}</ref>

As a response to Tarantino's comments police unions across the United States called for a boycott of his upcoming film at the time, ''The Hateful Eight''. [[Patrick Lynch (police officer)|Patrick J. Lynch]], union president of the [[Police Benevolent Association of the City of New York]], said, "It's no surprise that someone who makes a living glorifying crime and violence is a cop-hater, too. The police officers that Quentin Tarantino calls 'murderers' aren't living in one of his depraved big screen fantasies — they're risking and sometimes sacrificing their lives to protect communities from real crime and mayhem."<ref name="vox" /> The [[Los Angeles Police Department]] Chief [[Charlie Beck]] said Tarantino "doesn't understand the nature of the violence. Mr. Tarantino lives in a fantasy world. That's how he makes his living. His movies are extremely violent, but he doesn't understand violence. … Unfortunately, he mistakes lawful use of force for murder, and it's not."<ref>{{cite news |last=Whipp |first=Glenn |title=Quentin Tarantino 'not backing down' from remarks on police brutality |url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/goldstandard/la-et-mn-quentin-tarantino-hateful-eight-boycott-20151102-story.html |work=Los Angeles Times |date=November 4, 2015 |access-date=October 9, 2022 |archive-date=October 9, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221009052127/https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/goldstandard/la-et-mn-quentin-tarantino-hateful-eight-boycott-20151102-story.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

Tarantino's response to this criticism was, "All cops are not murderers ... I never said that.
