One website lists him as 'possibly' a Republican, but without a source I'm going to have to assume they just made that up because it sounded good. It doesn't appear that he was very interested in politics either. But most likely he wasn't very religious during his life or we'd have more than gross speculation. Ĭonfused yet? I suppose what I'm trying to get to here is that it seems probable that he was raised Eastern Orthodox. But then there's one site that claims his father was a Kryashen, or Christianized Tatar, who generally practice Orthodox Christianity. However, it appears that his father was Lithuanian Tatar, which are a predominantly Muslim group. īoth of his parents were Lithuanian, where the vast majority are Catholic, so you would think if it was just blind speculation, that's where people would have jumped. The unsourced speculation around the internet claims he was either Lutheran or Eastern Orthodox, and possibly Russian Orthodox at some point in his life. It doesn't appear that Bronson talked about religion much in his life. He died of pneumonia in 2003, at the age of 81. Charles Bronson, whose name at birth was Charles Buchinsky, was born and raised in Ehrenfeld, Pennsylvania.
