Considering her marriage was arranged/demanded by the celebrity cult, I find it strange this former A- list actress says she no longer belongs to the group.

‘Orange is the New Black’ star Laura Prepon reveals she’s stopped practicing Scientology

Laura Prepon is opening up about losing her religion.

The “Orange is the New Black” star, who was once a devout Scientologist, has revealed that she hasn’t “practiced [it] in close to five years.”

“I’ve always been very open-minded, even since I was a child. I was raised Catholic and Jewish. I’ve prayed in churches, meditated in temples,” she explained to People, adding that the L. Ron Hubbard-founded belief system is “no longer part of my life.”

The 41-year-old actress credits what she refers to as her evolution to being the mother of two children with actor Ben Foster, noting, “If motherhood has taught me anything so far, it’s that something can work out for a period of time, and then you move on and evolve.”

“As a new mom, I was riddled with anxiety…My friends who were mothers with older kids said, ‘Laura, this is a phase, you’ll move on…’ And that has transcended into other parts of my life,” she added. “We’re all evolving. I always see that with my kids.”

“I’m really liking it, because it’s something that helps me to hear my own voice and it’s something we can do together,” the Watchung, N.J., native said.

In “You and I, as Mothers: A Raw and Honest Guide to Motherhood,” her recent book, the “That 70s Show” alum revealed the “complicated” relationship she has with her own mother, including that her mother taught her how to be bulimic when she was young. She told the outlet that her mother is currently suffering from Alzheimer’s.

“I have to come to terms with the fact that this woman who was an incredible force in my life – is fading,” Prepon confided. “It’s very hard to watch. I just try to be there and stay present for the good moments we have.” – Source
