Actually I think that, in current continuity, Batman’s on record as being an atheist. Which to mean seems a completely unsupportable position (logically speaking) in the DCU–he’s met and fought beside (or against) several angels and knows not a few gods.
In the latest issue of Infinite Crisis, Mr. Terrific declares himself an atheist, to a man wearing clothing fashioned from human souls.
His rationale is that souls (and presumably gods, magic, and other supernatural phenomena) are just poorly understood physical events.
An alternative view is that the supernatural exists, perhaps just as described in human religions, but that the gods are bastards, and not worthy to be worshipped. I daresay Batman falls into this category.
In the Justice League cartoon, Hawkgirl is an atheist, of a strange kind. Her people believe the gods used to exist, but that her people eventually rose up and killed them.
I suspect they ripped that off from somebody. It appeared in one of the Star Trek series as a Klingon tradition.
I like how they have god (religous affiliation = god) and jesus down under significant supporting characters.
Also lucifer is there, he’s down as lord of the underworld.
As some people already pointed out, atheism is kind of a dumb choice when god does actually show up in person all the time (including fantastic four #511 apparently)
Why would Superman (or any of the non-human ones) be christian or any other earth religion? They aren’t from here so that just doesn’t really make sense to me.
Maybe a hybrid view would be that supernatural deities are “real,” but that none of them actually created the universe or humanity, although they want people to THINK that they did (or maybe the deities are delusional, and they think they created the universe).
Well, Superman was raised in America from infancy, so his adopting a middle American religious morality isn’t that surprising.
I’ve seen that list before. I’m still disappointed that they left off Jesse Custer and the Preacher crew.
In an episode of Voyager, we see the boat that takes the souls of the dishonored to Grehthor. The boat is helmed by the first Klingon. He killed the gods who created him, the rest of the pantheon made him steer the boat as punishment.
Re The Thing
I was thrilled when it was announced that Ben was Jewish. Then Fenris corrected me. Kirby and Lee meant for Ben Grimm to be a Jew. But, there are plenty of stories with Grimm attending mass, saying confession, etc. Every What If that shows Grimm getting married depicts a Christian wedding. To say ‘He’s a Jew’ is to deny decades of Grimm’s being a practicing Catholic.
Re Arthur AKA The Moth
When did Arthur become “The Mothman”? I admit that I only have a handful of Tick issues. But, they all refer to Arthur as “The Moth”
Re Preacher
Crud, OTTOMH I can’t recall if Granma and the church in Anneville were Baptist, Lutheran, or Methodist.
Granma- Southern (whichever sect it was) Devout. Has met God
Jesse Custer- former priest. Anti-theist, he believes that God exists and that He is a total bastard.
Tulip- Was resurrected by God and spoke with him. Believes He is full of sh*t. Anti-theist
Pronsias Cassidy- Irish Protestant/Irish Catholic. Lived by maxim "Do you believe in God? Let me put it this way, do you give a f*ck if there’s a God?’. Has met God. Considers him to be a wanker.
Allfather D’Aronique-Catholic. Extremely Devout. He guards the Blood Of The Lamb and believes that he is carrying out God’s plan.
Herr Starr- Atheist. When confronted with an angel, Starr kicked it in the testicles. He then called for stout men with baseball bats so he could interrogate the fallen Seraph.
Saint Of Killers-Agnostic. Although he has been given power by God and acts under Heaven’s mandate, the Saint doesn’t care much about God. He later changes his views to Anti-Theist.
Jesus DeSade- Homotheist, he worships himself. Has buggered his way round the local zoo, produces child pornography, urinates into Demi Moore’s cleavage at parties
Arseface- Presumed Christian, specifics unknown.
Funny thing is, while I’m a practicing Catholic, atheism and agnosticism are perfectly understandable to me in the real world. It’s only in the comic book universe that they seem like ridiculous choices.
In the real world, I can understand how an intelligent person could decide that God is just another superstitious fantasy, like vampires, werewolves, ghosts, demons, etc. But in the comic book world, where vampires, werewolves, ghosts and demons, etc. are REAL, and all the superheroes have SEEN them, it’s hard to imagine an intelligent character dismissing the supernatural entirely.
I don’t know if Voyager mentioned it, but according to Worf in a DS9 episode, the rest of the Klingon gods are (now) dead, too. (As of about 1400 A.D., or 600 years ago…around the “year one” of the Klingon calander, as I remember.)
As Worf put it: “They were…more trouble than they were worth.”
Always liked that quote. 
Less atheism I can understand, but less agnosticism? I doubt it. Evidence of the supernatural suggests possibility, but says nothing about the existence of a set pantheon/supreme deity above all of that (even other “gods”). It’s not that agnostics aren’t sure of the supernatural, but of the existence of gods. An agnostic could believe in the supernatural and still be an agnostic.
