The Religion and Political Views of Bella Thorne

Summary

Religion

Thorne is a deeply religious Christian.

Political Views

She's an Obama supporter, and appears to be on her way towards Hollywood liberal.

Wiki

Bella Thorne was born in Pembroke Pines, Florida. She grew up there and in Los Angeles, California.

This young actress is definitely a deeply devoted Christian, but I couldn't pin down which denomination. She's a frequent church-goer, and apparently has her own set of beliefs. We just don't know exactly what those are:

I go to church almost every Sunday. My beliefs may not be the same as other people in my church or even in my family.[1]

Twitter is like an open religious forum for Thorne. She'll tweet pictures of herself at church,[2] tell her fans that the Bible was the book that changed her life,[3] and she fairly frequently tweets religious phrases like this one:

"God places the heaviest burden on those who can carry its weight."[4]

So she's making it pretty clear that religion is a huge part of her life, even if she hasn't shared yet exactly what the details of her faith entail.

A Liberal in the Making

Thorne is a little young to have a very well-developed set of political beliefs, but all signs point to liberal. She tweeted a congratulations to Barack Obama after winning his second term as president in 2012.[5]

It's possible that as she gets older she'll get into the animal rights movement since she's a self-proclaimed animal lover. And she mentioned PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) in a tweet about evacuating animals during Hurricane Sandy in 2012.[6]

She is also involved with the anti-bullying organization Stomp Out Bullying. She has personal experience with the issue since she was bullied as a kid for being dyslexic. She said about her experiences as a global ambassador for the organization,

I've been to lots of schools and I've talked to [kids] about bullying and it's so sad every time I go there. There are always so many kids that talk about how they've been bullied so much in their school, and that breaks my heart.[7]

It sounds like we could have the makings of a bleeding-heart liberal Hollywood star on our hands, but as she gets a little older, we'll just have to wait and see.
