She's Bajoran, whose primary [[PlanetOfHats hat]] is being one of the few species in the galaxy that still has a majority of outspokenly religious citizens.

* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'': Wonder Woman was the only team member who was overtly religious with her faith in the Greek pantheon. Hawkgirl was openly an atheist, but the others appeared to be simply nonreligious. Superman was clearly raised Christian (most likely specifically Lutheran) and Batman was occasionally implied to be a lapsed Catholic.

* ''Series/TheLWord: Jenny was Jewish and Bette is a Buddhist, but it didn't come up a lot. The issue of religion within the LGBT+ community is raised and discussed in ''Generation Q'', which introduced the recurring character Rebecca Dowery, who briefly sees new main character Finley who's thrown after learning she's a minister. Rebecca, it turns out, is with the Los Angeles MCC (Multicultural Community Church[[note]]A clear fictional counterpart for the real Metropolitan Community Church[[/note]]), an LGBT+ affirming denomination. She notes that she's much more closeted about being a Christian than queer as many LGBT+ people have very painful histories with Christianity (like Finley, who'd been raised Catholic and kicked out by her parents). After realizing that Finley is deeling with deep-seated issues over this and can't see religious people (let alone clergy) without anxiety over them, Rebecca breaks things off, expressing her hope that she'll work through them and maybe find anothe faith in the future.
