Pasted from a website , couldnt help it very interesting thought. When asked if religion plays a part in her life, in an interview in 2009, Streep replied, I follow no doctrine. I dont belong to a church or a temple or a synagogue or an ashram.In an interview in December 2008, she also alluded to her inability to follow a religion when she said, So Ive always been really, deeply interested, because I think I can understand the solace thats available in the whole construct of religion. But I really dont believe in the power of prayer, or things would have been avoided that have happened, that are awful. So its a horrible position as an intelligent, emotional, yearning human being to sit outside of the available comfort there. But I just cant go there. When asked from where she draws consolation in the face of aging and death, she responded, Consolation? Im not sure I have it. I have a belief, I guess, in the power of the aggregate human attempt – the best of ourselves. In love and hope and optimism – you know, the magic things that seem inexplicable. Why we are the way we are. I do have a sense of trying to make things better. Where does that come from?
