Did Elizabeth Mosss Scientology beliefs lead to her divorce?

Yesterday, Elizabeth Moss confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that she had officially filed for divorce from Fred Armisen, her husband of less than a year. This caused Us Weekly to run some weeks-old quotes from unnamed sources about Moss’s Scientology being the real problem in their marriage, not the whole thing about Fred Armisen hooking up with his 23-year-old SNL costar Abby Elliot. We covered the quotes here, when the story came out in the print edition of Us Weekly, but now they’re getting more play – HuffPo’s story on this has already gotten more than 400 comments. WTF? I guess people didn’t know that little Peggy from Mad Men rolls with Xenu.

It’s really over. Elisabeth Moss filed divorce papers in Los Angeles Monday to end her brief marriage to Fred Armisen, Entertainment Tonight confirms. The Mad Men actress, 28, wed the Saturday Night Live performer, 43, last October.

According to court documents, the couple have been separated since late June.

“They had issues,” one insider told Us Weekly of the short-lived pair. One of those issues? Moss’s ties to the Church of Scientology.

“Her religion was as important to her as their marriage, if not more,” another pal told Us. “He could not get with it.”

Armisen isn’t brooding on his own. After their separation, he connected with SNL costar Abby Elliot, 23. “Fred sought comfort in her after the split,” another source says, adding that Moss is “fine” with his new relationship.

“They are both moving on.”

I’ll say it again – I think Moss’s Scientology probably played a role in their split, but I’m not giving Fred Armisen a free pass either. He moved on so quickly it is suspicious, and it makes me sympathetic towards Moss. Plus, I just think she’s really talented and adorable, and I want her to hook up with someone interesting. Not The Hamm! But maybe Vincent Kartheiser…? He seems so weird though. Who would be good for my girl? I’m still drawing a blank.
