"A lot of people are just too smart to believe in God. You know what I mean? Well, you have to believe in something bigger than you. And whether you call it science, whether you call it nature, whether you call it this or that, doesn't matter. You know, there's a force there. There's an energy. There's greatness. And those of us that, you know, do believe like we do. However you find him, just do" Dolly Parton doesn't talk about her faith like someone who has been a Christian for 50 years. Instead, she talks about God a fair amount- never Jesus or any other allusions to the gospel- in a way someone does when they haven't been attending church for 50 years. And Dolly hasn't. She hasn't consistently or regularly attended a “traditional” church as an adult, choosing for the last 5 decades to have ‘personal prayer time’ by herself while eschewing regular gatherings of believers or membership in any church body, and it shows. It's also why she told the New Humanist in 2024 “So much of who I am is based on my faith. I believed in God and I believed that through God all things were possible, and that through myself things were possible, if I hung on to my plan. …We all need something to believe in, whether you believe in God or not, whether you call it Mother Nature or Father Time or a higher wisdom. You need to believe in yourself and you need to believe there’s a force that can push you and lead you on. I was always guided by that. I’m very creative – what keeps me going is both spiritual and creative energy. I’m not a religious fanatic. I wouldn’t even say I’m religious, though I grew up with that background. But I have a lot of faith in myself and I’ve been so blessed to have been around great people my whole life."
