What religion is Keira Knightley? Is Keira Knightley an atheist?

The Pirates of the Caribbean actress has stated clearly that she is an atheist. She famously mocked Catholics sometime in the past about her regret for being an atheist.

She opened up to The Sun UK in 2012 saying: “I just get to ask for forgiveness as a Catholic. It sounds much better than having to live with the guilt. It’s absolutely extraordinary. If only I wasn’t an atheist, I could get away with anything. You’d just ask for forgiveness and then you’d be forgiven.”
