Tom Brady is unique when it comes to his religion.

The New England Patriots quarterback, a symbol of success, fame and fortune, believes in everything. According to The New York Times Mark Leibovich, Bradys faith falls on a more spiritual path since he doesnt believe in a specific God or religious practice. Rather, he has a mix of everything.

Leibovich surveyed Bradys house and saw Bibles all over the place. And back in 2009, Brady and his supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen got married in a small Catholic church in Santa Monica, California. Leibovich also saw menorahs in Bradys apartment.

Were not Jewish, Brady told Leibovich. But I think were into everything. I dont know what I believe. I think theres a belief system, Im just not sure what it is.

Brady has mentioned God before in interviews. In one interview for 60 Minutes, Brady talked about God and how theres got to be more to life than winning Super Bowls, which, he said, inspired some believers to mail home copies of the Bible. According to Leibovich, Brady marveled in how his younger self had a different set of religious views than he does today.

Bradys unique perspective on faith is surprising, given that Brady grew up in a Catholic home, according to Hollowverse, an information website on the religious and political views of celebrities. And Brady has stepped away from his faith in certain aspects, like having a child out of wedlock with supermodel Bridget Moynihan.

It might be safe to say that Brady is not a devout Catholic, according to the Hollowverse. Hes more concerned with winning Super Bowls and having children with extremely beautiful women. In other words, hes no Tim Tebow.
