Of course, when a family is highly religious, they don’t want their golden child to not believe in the same faith. And when the Legendary Quarterback revealed his religious beliefs, it surely broke them.

So of course, when the QB told his faith to the insider, it makes sense why his family felt it was, “a slap in the face to the fundamentals of who they are.”, “It’s basically him turning his back on everything they have taught him,”
But still, faith is personal, right? So why did Rodgers turn his back on everything his family believed in?
Aaron Rodgers explained his reasons to Danica Patrick
Well, the star quarterback has a few reasons for what he believes, as he explained to his then-girlfriend.
He recalled a memory of going to church and how it made him feel, and the racial element of it. He explained, “Church on Sunday it was like, more, make sure you dress a certain way, don’t bring that person, this person’s going to get looked at strangely if they show up. Again, it’s very black and white, binary.”

That’s not it, though. He further elaborated on his choice. “It’s set up binary, it’s us and them. It’s saved and unsaved, it’s heaven and hell” — and questioned a higher power., “I don’t know how you can believe in a God who wants to condemn most of the planet to a fiery hell,” he said.
