I think the main religion for superheroes is "I don't care what his religion is".

They also have fairly detailed essays with examples from the comics to back up their claims, like the one for the Batman:

I saw that. I hadto read a few of them because I couldn't figure out how they came up with some of their religions. Like Robin (Tim) being Jew/Catholic (or Cashew as my cousin calls himself)

I also didn't get the Nightwing is Roma/Gypsy. Just because he was a circus performer?

I scratched my head at that one, too. The name "Grayson" is about as WASP-ish as you can get.

And they point out that in his apartment there were christian books and other things. i don't recall ever noticing anything like that, and i'm pretty sure i'd pick up on that.
