Joaquin Phoenix Reveals Growing Up In A Religious Cult Children Of God

Joaquin Phoenix recently talked about his parent's involvement with the religious cult Children Of God.  





In a new interview with Playboy magazine, Phoenix, 40, explained: "My parents had a religious experience and felt strongly about it. They wanted to share that with other people who wanted to talk about their experience with religion. These friends were like: "Oh, we believe in Jesus as well,"" adding: "I think my parents thought they'd found a community that shared their ideals. Cults rarely advertise themselves as such. It's usually someone saying: "We're like-minded people. This is a community," but I think the moment my parents realized there was something more to it, they got out."
