Lily Allen: 'I don't like Christianity'

Rex Features

Lily Allen has voiced her dislike of Christianity.

The outspoken popstar told Word magazine that her Catholic upbringing was at odds with the hedonistic lifestyle her parents led.

She said: "I don't like Christianity much. I was brought up in a Catholic school and they told me gays, adultery and drugs were bad.

"All my mum's friends were gay, my dad was having affairs and there were drugs in the house when I was a kid, so it was a bit cruel."

Allen recently courted controversy by claiming that many of her friends took cocaine and could still lead a normal life.
