Ariana Grande traded Catholicism for Kabbalah for her gay brother. She did not like the church's views on homosexuality because it would mean that she had to go against her brother, who is gay. Instead of becoming faithless, however, she and her brother decided to check Kabbalah out, and they both felt at home with it.

According to Mail Online, in an interview with the Sunday Telegraph magazine, Ariana Grande shared that she could not take the church saying God does not love Frankie, her brother because of his sexual orientation. "When my brother [Frankie J. Grande] was told that God didn't love him I was like, 'OK, that's not cool,'" she said. "They were building a Kabbalah center in Florida so we both checked it out and really had a connection with it."

It went beyond having a connection. The budding singer, who is also a former Nickelodeon star, shared that her life changed for the better when she started to practice Kabbalah, an offshoot of Judaism that has many celebrity followers. She shared that switching to it transformed her life. Her life unfolded beautifully and she is convinced that was because she was practicing all the things she had learned through Kabbalah.

According to the Grande, Kabbalah asks its followers to be mindful over their intentions and not to be egoistic. Kabbalah also asks its followers to "numb" their reactive state. People who practice Kabbalah also have the ability to change their reality, Ariana shared.

Last year, in a 2013 interview, the "Problem" singer shared to UK's Metro that her faith in the Catholic Church wavered and vanished when the pope denounced everything she loved. "[The church] said Spongebob Squarepants is gay and he's a sinner and he should burn in hell," she reminisced. "And Harry Potter was a sin. And working women. I was like, 'Enough! First the gays, then Spongebob and now Harry Potter? Get out of my house!' I was not having it. And the working women thing? It was a moment for me. I needed something else to believe in."

US Weekly shared that Kabbalah is not just a fad for the entertainer. Her friend might have gotten her into it, but Ariana is taking Kabbalah seriously, studying all the books and everything else about it.
