Brad Pitt could have been Neo.
During an interview this week, the movie star was asked to name a movie role he turned down. Pitt reluctantly gave one example: “I did pass on ‘The Matrix.’” The role eventually went to Keanu Reeves, and the rest is movie history.

He recorded an ad for the Freedom From Religion Foundation that aired during the recent Democratic Party presidential debate. He states in the ad, “I’m alarmed by the intrusions of religion into our secular government.”
He then concludes: “Ron Reagan. Lifelong atheist. Not afraid of burning in hell.”
If you were to discuss religion with Brad Pitt or Ron Reagan, how would you begin? What would be a good way not to begin?
