QUOTE:
“There are a lot of unanswered questions surrounding Hillsong, the nightlife-esque megachurch popularized by a celebrity congregation that includes Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, and several Kardashians. The church has captured the criticism and fascination by the public for its secretive religious practices, homophobic beliefs, and abuse allegations. It wasn’t uncommon a couple of years ago for a celebrity you liked to be disappointingly outted as a Hillsong attendee, kind of like how celebrities are now outted for buying distasteful gorilla NFTs.”
