Holy hell, this sounds like a lot.

Anna Faris opened up about parenting a “religious” son when she isn’t religious herself on Thursday’s episode of Chelsea Handler’s podcast.

The actor shares a son, Jack, 14, with her ex-husband, Chris Pratt.

The topic of Faris and Pratt’s son came up 49 minutes into Thursday’s episode of “Dear Chelsea” on Spotify, when Handler was asking the “The House Bunny” star about her family life.

Faris began by describing her son as “solid as a tugboat, emotionally.”

“He just doesn’t get easily jarred — he handles situations really well,” Faris said.

“He is … religious,” she added with a tinge of discomfort.

“Are you religious?” Handler asked.

“No, I didn’t grow up with religion,” Faris said. “He’s asked me to accept Jesus Christ—”

“—As your savior?” Handler interjected.

“Uh huh,” Faris confirmed. “And I told him I would do anything for him, including this, but it’s gonna take a whole lot of long conversations.”

She went on to explain that by “long conversations” she meant discussions in which she challenges the right-wing politics typically associated with some factions of Christianity. Faris offered a prelude to some of her examples by saying her son is “impressive” with his responses.

“I try to challenge him. I’m like, ‘Do you think it’s a luxury that you get to be pro-life?’ …He’s like, ‘Maybe,’” Faris said.

“Or I’ll say, ‘So, what do you think of this mega pastor that’s kind of a grifter?’” Faris said, offering another example. “He’s like, ‘Oh, mega pastors are the worst.’”

“So it’s like, OK… we’re getting there,” Faris said, sounding a touch exasperated.

Faris said that ultimately she’s “appreciative that he’s examining religion the way he is in terms of recognizing hypocrisy.”

“And I’m appreciative we can have these long conversations,” Faris said before Handler leaped at the opportunity to change the subject.

After Faris and Pratt split in 2017, Pratt quickly moved on and married Katherine Schwarzenegger in 2019 — and ever since, the “Parks & Recreation” alum has become more vocal about his religious and right-wing views.
