Okay, anyone could have guessed that Shamrock, a.k.a. Molly Fitzgerald, would have to be Catholic. But did you know that Superman is Methodist? The Shadow is a Buddhist? Who knew?
A website, www.comicbookreligion.com, attempts to catalogue our Superfriends by religion and ethnicity.  For example, there's an extensive discussion of whether Magneto, the X-Men's nemesis, is Jewish or Roma. The site is the offspring of adherents.com, which houses statistics on religious membership and congregations for, it claims, some 4,200 religions.Â
For Your Information:
Batman is either Episcopalian or Catholic.
Rogue is Southern Baptist.
Elektra is Greek Orthodox.
Johnny Thunder is a Latter-Day Saint.
Nightcrawler is Catholic.
Green Lantern is a Lapsed Catholic, as is The Hulk.
Spiderman is Protestant.
Sasquatch is Jewish, as is Captain Underpants.
Ms. Marvel's religion is "mildly feminist" (!)

LOVE this article, E!
Thor is another obvious one.
Wonder Warthog is a hard one. He definitely lost his faith but I'm not sure which one it was.
Mr. Natural worships himself.
Anyone who has seen the (IMHO quite wonderful) Alec Baldwin movie "The Shadow" knows he is a Buddhist. But, even if you just paid attention to the info on the radio show (while traveling in the "Orient" Lamont Cranston learned 'the power to cloud men's minds') it could easily be extrapolated. I don't recall reading any of "William Gibson"'s printed stories, but it must be there too.
Personally, it seems to me that many people's minds are pretty cloudy already, so it can't take too to cloud them entirely. lol
BTW, who in hell is Johnny Thunder? Is he a polygamist? Can he locate the original copy of Joseph Smith's fantasy novel "The Book of Mormon"?
What about Captain Marvel? Could it be that Dr. Sivana (heh,heh,heh) is truly in league with the devil?
Catwoman is probably 'Cat-Lick'.
Sasquatch is Jewish, as is Captain Underpants.
How was Sasquatch's religion determined, I wonder....lol
Have you seen his new commercial?

Loved this topic BTW rated 10 for being so eye catching.
I had no idea that Batman is a fellow Episcopalian!
