In a telling interview, Guy Ritchie has revealed he doesn't get his soon-to-be ex wife Madonna's faith.

"I don't really understand kabbalah as a religion," Ritchie told Extra at the Toronto International Film Festival last month.

Ritchie continued: "I don't think it's a religion as far as I'm aware."

Madonna has said the Jewish mystical religion helped her become a better person.

"Kabbalah helped me stand up and take responsibility for everything to do with me," she has said.

The Material Girl performed in Boston Wednesday night - and never mentioned Ritchie by name.

Before performing "Miles Away" - a tune she's said was inspired by her ex - she announced to the audience, "This song is for the emotionally retarded. Maybe you know some people who fall into that category. I know I do.
