The Religion and Political Views of Rupert Grint

Wiki

Rupert Grint was born in Hertfordshire, England.

Grint hasn't expressed his religious views. Most Q&A sites seem to agree that he's Christian,[1] which is no surprise, considering he's a white Englishman. A clue to his denomination might be that he attended a Catholic school as a child.[2]

The absence of politics

Grint hasn't had much to say about politics either. He did, when talking about his love of punk music, indicate a possible interest in the idea of no government, saying:

I love the madness behind [punk music]. The craziness, the passion. And the whole anarchist thing is quite cool.[3]

However, he's young, rich, and famous and his pals Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson are both pretty liberal, so my guess is Grint is a gay rights promoting, environmentalist liberal.

Other interesting profiles

Ralph Fiennes

He is not vocal about partisan politics, but is dedicated to human rights issues across the globe. Fiennes was raised Catholic, but abandoned the religion as a youth. He is still spiritual, but seemingly not in any conventional sense.

Stephen Colbert

On his show, Colbert is an equal-opportunity basher, skewering both Republicans and Democrats. But he has admitted to being a Democrat and his satirical portrayal of a conservative pundit would imply that he's probably quite liberal. Colbert was raised in a big Irish-Catholic family, and still practices regularly today.

Hugh Laurie

Laurie is a supporter of the British Labour Party and has criticized greedy fat-cats on numerous occasions. He's a liberal Labour. Laurie was raised a Presbyterian and now considers himself an atheist.

Seth MacFarlane

MacFarlane is a big supporter of the Democratic Party and Obama. And in this case, big means big money. He's a liberal who supports gay marriage, liberal immigration policy, and the legalization of marijuana. MacFarlane was raised a Catholic, but turned that into a joke by the time he was 11 years-old. Now, he proudly claims atheism.
