![“When I got untethered from the comfort of religion, it wasn't a loss of faith for me, it was a discovery of self. I had faith that I'm capable enough to handle any situation. There's peace in understanding that I have only one life, here and now, and [that] I'm responsible.” quote by Brad Pitt](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/042/brad-pitt-1608_atheist_when-i-got-untethered-from-the-comfort-o_1442094.jpg)
