I'm normally not a praying man, but if you’re up there, please save me, Superman.

Chmmr found this page: The Religious Affiliations of Comic Book Characters. It's pretty entertaining, not least because of the Baby-Cakes-like Superman, and the Lex-Luthor-like J. Jonah Jameson entry: 'Hates Spiderman.' Rock.
Loads of Catholics. Hardly any Hindus. Total cop-out with the Red Skull though.

They only list one Red Skull, too. What's up with that?

I like the fact that Dr. Strange is the only one with "met God" listed after his religion... and the email argument about whether Dr. Strange can properly be called "religious", seeing as he can't be said to merely *believe* that God or the Gods exist, since he actually *knows*.

I guess some members of the Fantastic Four have met God too, a fact which is referred to as being 'interesting'.

Also, a lot fewer Jews than these guys' creators probably would have preferred in an ideal publication environment.

Maybe, but the Legion of Jewish Superheros seems rather large. More Jews than Baptists, I think, but not as many Jews as Catholics.

What cracks me up is the Legion of Jewish Catholic Superheros.
