Madonna

Madonna, the Queen of Pop, has shown great interest in Judaism but has not officially converted to the religion. In the book 'Defining Judaism: A Reader' by religious studies expert Aaron W. Hughes, it is noted that the singer, known for hits like 'Like a Prayer', believes that "religion, and particularly Judaism, are inherently divisive, and this division is ultimately responsible for the problems we face."
