“I sure do but that’s nothing new, that’s nothing new, you know?” Pratt said when asked by Page Six about the criticism he's received. "If I was of this world, they would love me just like that but as it is, I’ve chosen out of this world. That’s John 15:18 through 20.”

While he is passionate about his faith, Pratt claims "no church defines" him. Rumors sprung in 2019 that he attended an anti-LGBTQ+ church.

“That’s the way it is, nothing new, 2,000 years ago they hated [Jesus Christ,] too,” he added, referencing Jesus Christ.
