Selena Gomez reportedly "doesn't identify with Hillsong any longer" despite having attended the church for so many years. Per the Daily Mail, a source told the Australian Daily Telegraph that Selena once "adored" Pastor Carl Lentz. "She, [Hillsong cofounder] Brian [Houston], his daughter Laura, and Justin [Bieber] were a team, really close," the source said. "Now she doesn't want anything to do with Hillsong anymore." The source told the publication that "Selena considers herself a Christian" and "she says she has a close relationship with God, and she believes this is not how God wants us to operate, she's disillusioned."

Though it seems like Carl Lentz's cheating scandal was the last straw for the singer, any one of Hillsong's scandals could have led to Gomez's decision. Not only was the church accused of being a cult, but in February 2019, Elliot Page reminded Twitter Hillsong is "infamously anti-LGBTQ," referring to a pastor from the church who wrote in a blog post that he believes, "God's word is clear that marriage is between a man and a woman."

Now that Gomez is done with Hillsong, we wonder whether any other celebrities will follow in her footsteps...
