didnt have one. he was an atheist. hated all religion

Actually, he was more an agnostic than an atheist. It's unaccurate to say he hated all religion. He just didn't practice anyone. Here comes handy to quote one of his son's testimony:

Charles Chaplin, Jr., My Father, Charlie Chaplin, pages 239-240:

Dad felt a special concern about The Great Dictator, for it was different in kind from any of his

other pictures. Always with them he had hoped for two things, to make people laugh and to

make money. But with The Great Dictator, there was something else involved: it had become

imperative to him to get across his outcry against the hell of war and the evils of oppression. For

the first time I heard my father speak seriously of prayer in connection with a picture.

"I'm praying, son, that this picture will have a good message and maybe help mankind a bit,"

he said to my suddenly one day. But he wouldn't have been my father if he hadn't added in a

humorous aside, "I'm also praying it will be a big hit, because I've spent a lot of money on it."

Dad was vague about who it was to whom he addressed his prayer. I never heard him speak of

God as a personal power or conjecture about what comes after death. He never even mentioned

death as far as I can recall. He wasn't one to adopt an organized religion, and he didn't care for

ritualistic services, though he openly and ardently admired the architecture of churches and

synagogues. He never forced his own beliefs on Syd and me, though occasionally he would

speak of them to us.

"I'm not an atheist," I can remember him saying on more than one occasion. "I'm definitely an

agnostic. Some scientists say that if the world were to stop revolving we'd all disintegrate. But

the world keeps on going. Something must be holding us all in place--some Supreme Force. But

what it is I couldn't tell you."
