Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman who was born on September 1, 1996, is an American actress, singer, and producer. She started her career as a child artist and backup dancer for Selena Gomez before gaining popularity for her role in Rocky Blue on the Disney Channel sitcom Shake It Up.

Zendaya’s first name is inspired by the Shona word “Tendai” which translates “to give thanks.” Shona are members of a population that inhabits parts of southern Africa. Her dad had an affinity for names with Z’s and Zens and hence Zendaya. There’s a lot of things we don’t know about this phenomenal artist and young woman.

At 24 years of age Zendaya has already accomplished: leading two Disney Channel shows, Making her own music, authoring her book, winning an Emmy for Euphoria, and featuring in Netflix’s new Oscar- buzzy Film Malcolm & Marie. Zendaya is Christian and mostly Catholic, but that too can be said with only some level of certainty.

Is Zendaya Coleman Christian Or not?

With the speculation about Zendaya’s religion, all we really can go on our assumptions. Neither her Facebook nor Instagram lists a religion but fans suppose that she isn’t very religious. Some Fans say she is Christian and possibly Catholic, but again no proof of that.

The 24-year-old had posted a picture of herself posing between her parents Claire Stoermer and Kazembe Ajamu Coleman when such hurtful and mean comments were posted about her parents being “ugly” and “funny looking”. In this situation, Zendaya replied, “First, I'm gonna pray for you. While you're so concerned about what my parents look like, please know that these are two of the most selfless people in the world” and so on. So ya we can assume that she prays and most probably is Christian.
