    Kathie Lee Gifford "can't stand religion" but still believes in God

    The 71-year-old star admitted that she can't really understand the concept of going to Church every single week and struggles with the contradictory nature of religion but still wants to have a spiritual guide with her in life


    She told FoxNewsDigital: "I can't stand religion. Religion puts people in chains. And Jesus comes to set us free. What do you want? You want to go someplace and sit in the same pew week after week after week and hear the same stuff that doesn't change your life at all. Or do you want to walk with a living creator of all things who loves you and has a plan for your life and only, only, only longs for you to have fellowship with Him? That's the only thing I'm interested in."

    The former 'Today' host - who has Cody, 34, and Cassidy , 31, with her late husband Frank Gifford - claimed that she'd be in an "insane asylum without Jesus" because of certain traumas she has been through in life but also feels incredibly "blessed" at where she has ended up.

    She said: "I'd be in an insane asylum without Jesus. I've been through a lot of c***** stuff in my life. I've been blessed beyond belief as well. But I've had a lot of things that ended up being very public too, that would have put me away for a long time and done a lot of damage to my family, to my everything. I was already holding Jesus' his hand.

    "When you go through the kinds of things that I went through in the last, you know, 20 years, you just cling. You just cling tighter. You're already there. You already have them. And I know people always talk about, you know, people coming to God in a foxhole. Fine. Whenever you come to God, it's a good thing. The better thing is to come to know him early in your life and then cling to him for their whole life."
