Previously, McKellar linked Christianity to rule-following and to ways it has “been misused.” In 2023, the actor said it was a “revelation” to discover that “you get to have a personal relationship with God” as a Christian. As for people who have misused the faith, McKellar said she realized, “Those aren’t authentic Christians.”

Last month, McKellar shared photos of her family worshiping together on Easter Sunday. “He is Risen!” she wrote. “Wherever you are, may you feel the abundance of His love today and always!”
