5. She Was Raised As a Christian Scientist
Ellen and her brother were both raised in a family of Christian Scientists, and Ellen associated with the religion until she was 13 years old. Followers of this sect of Christianity do not believe in seeing doctors or using medication, and Ellen herself has said that she never had aspirin until she was a teenager. She recalled her strict upbringing, in which she had to attend church every week and participate in testimonies on a weekly basis. Now, Ellen calls herself “nonreligious,” although she has said that she believes in God, and sees God as omnipresent. She has spoken out against Christian Scientists, mostly with unflattering remarks.
