What Religion Is Jeremy Renner?
Renner has not said he belongs to any church or religion. He speaks about spirituality rather than doctrine, especially since the accident that nearly killed him.
The Snowplow Accident
On New Year’s Day 2023, Renner was run over by his 14,000-pound snowcat while trying to stop it hitting his nephew near his home in Nevada. He broke more than 30 bones.
In 2025, promoting his memoir My Next Breath, he told Variety and other outlets that he believes he briefly died. He described it as a great relief and “the most exhilarating peace,” and spoke of “collective divinity.” Christian outlets such as CBN covered his account, but Renner himself framed it as spiritual rather than tied to a specific faith.
