Ghanaian actress Pascaline Edwards has a different view when it comes to organised religion.
Speaking in an interview with ZionFelix, she questioned the way religion is practised, suggesting that it often shifts from spiritual guidance into a means of imposing personal beliefs on others rather than fostering a direct relationship with God.
She explained that she does not believe in organised religion, arguing that it can function like a system where individuals gather followers, promote their own ideas, and label it as religious truth.
Pascaline was, however, quick to emphasise that her position should not be mistaken for disbelief in God. She stressed that her issue is with religious systems, not spirituality itself.

She referenced Jesus in her explanation, saying she believes he did not set out to establish a religion but instead sought to guide people toward a direct connection with God, which is the path she says she follows.
The actress added that her views were influenced by her reading of several religious and spiritual texts. According to her, these teachings appear to point toward a shared origin or divine source.
She questioned why people should commit to a specific religion when, in her view, most scriptures ultimately direct believers toward the same spiritual foundation. She also expressed concern that strict religious rules can distance individuals from their own sense of divine connection.
Pascaline further argued that rigid religious structures can make people feel dependent on spiritual leaders for everyday decisions, instead of developing personal conviction in their faith.
She criticised what she sees as growing reliance on pastors and religious figures for guidance, questioning why individuals should allow another human being to determine how they worship or relate to God.
