It seems like they just can't live without the religious equivalent of a velvet-roped nightclub VIP area, keeping the riff-raff out.
And Madonna has proved our point, by reportedly ditching the mystic Kabbalah branch of Judaism - after 15 years - and instead flirting with the secretive Catholic Opus Dei sect.
The move follows the recent reported troubles with her Raising Malawi charity, which is claimed to have squandered millions of pounds - with criticism apparently being levelled at Madge by some Kabbalah leaders.
The Mirror quoted a source as saying: "She has invested so much into Kabbalah so she was devastated by these damning accusations.
"She has started exploring different religions. Madonna has always been intrigued by Opus Dei. As yet, she's not a fully paid-up member - she's just had informal chats."
And if you think you've heard of Opus Dei before but can't quite remember where, the sect was featured in Dan Brown's bestselling Da Vinci Code books.
There has been no confirmation that 51-year-old Madonna has formally given up Kabbalah and posted her bracelets back - but she apparently spent 90 minutes at the London HQ of Opus Dei last Friday.
We're not sure why she's so keen on religion, but she does seem to "like a prayer". Arf arf!
What do you reckon? Is Madonna throwing her toys out of the pram? Comment below...
