> Peregrine from Alan Moore’s excellent Top Ten comic is a born-again Christian, and is referred to directly or indirectly as such at various points. Interestingly, the character also has some anger management issues; the two traits make for great character development.

Which reminds me - i’ve still got your copy at my house.

I imagine the third-tier Marvel heroine Sabra is Jewish.

There was a series in 2000 AD about 10 tears back, **Canon Fodder** , where the titular hero was indeed a Canon, but also a judge/jury/executioner type too, like a religious Judge Dredd if you will. [here you go](http://www.2000adonline.com/index.php3?zone=thrill&page=profiles&choice=canon)  
I want them to TPB that as well, its one of the best stories 2000AD ever did.

Marvel’s **Infinity Crusade** divided the heroes into two groups: one religious, the other not so much. Didn’t necessarily say what specific religions the heroes were but it gave some sort of insight at least.
