Editing Quentin Tarantino (section)

=== 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>
