2* '''Straight''': Amazing Girl saves the world day by day, but she talks little about religion.
3* '''Exaggerated''': Amazing Girl is the most altruistic person in the world, and she never bother to talk about religion at all.
4* '''Downplayed''': Amazing Girl chats with her more religious teammates about their faith but never brings up her own.
5* '''Justified''':
6** Amazing Girl isn't particularly fond of organized religion. She doesn't want to offend those who don't share her views, so she keeps it to herself.
7** Amazing Girl doesn't have any interest in religion and only participates in religious services because her friends and family are religious.
8** Amazing Girl is an atheist, and isn't fully convinced that a god is proven to exist.
9* '''Inverted''':
10** RealMenLoveJesus
11** ChurchgoingVillain
12** Amazing Girl is an open atheist.
13* '''Subverted''': AG reveals she keeps her religion secret because she follows a ReligionOfEvil.
14* '''Double Subverted''': It turns out said religion just has very bad PR from a VocalMinority, which is why she doesn't like to talk about it.
15* '''Parodied''': Amazing Girl stresses the importance of not favouring one religion over another...and for that reason she cannot listen to Music/RobbieWilliams' "Angels".
16* '''Zig-Zagged''': Amazing Girl flip flops between this trope and HollywoodAtheist DependingOnTheWriter.
17* '''Averted''': Amazing Girl is heroic and is quite vocal about her faith.
18* '''Enforced''': The executives won't allow Amazing Girl to be openly atheist, for fear of upsetting the MoralGuardians who happen to be strictly religious.
19* '''Lampshaded''': "Amazing Girl doesn't seem to like talking about religion, does she?"
20* '''Invoked''': Amazing Girl avoids bringing up religious matters to avoid arguments.
21* '''Exploited''': The BigBad tries to use the fact Amazing Girl doesn't bring up her faith to cast her as a HollywoodAtheist as part of a smear campaign.
22* '''Defied''': Amazing Girl considers her profession as a hero as either an affirmation or extension of her religious beliefs.
23* '''Discussed''': "It would be better if Amazing Girl find a religion."
24* '''Conversed''': "They're mentioning religion on ''Troperville'', but I hope the MoralGuardians don't boycott the show."
25* '''Implied''': In both her Alice and Amazing Girl identities, the protagonist gives her views on every issue under the sun save religion.
26* '''Deconstructed''':
27** Amazing Girl is called out by other believers for not believing in God (and if Alice is religious, but doesn't practice it very often, she gets the NoTrueScotsman treatment). Worse, [[TheFundamentalist overzealous believers]] harass and bully her because they believe she follows Satan.
28** It appears that Amazing Girl secretly lost her faith in God after her mother tragically died of cancer.
29** Amazing Girl is quiet about religion because she is appalled of the religion's questionable moral values, laws, and an afterlife where "evil" people are eternally tortured.
30* '''Reconstructed''': Amazing Girl believes that religion should not interfere with her profession as a hero and believes that it is up to each person to decide for themselves which god or gods to believe in or to believe in none.
31* '''Played for Laughs''': Amazing Girl doesn't bother talking about religions, [[FlatEarthAtheist even ones proven to be true]].
