Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': The person you least expect turns out to be heavily religious.
* '''Straight''': Vic is the leader of the Satan Knights biker gang, with a scar on his face and tattoos covering each arm. He can also quote the Bible from memory and teaches Sunday School every week.
* '''Exaggerated''': Vic constantly cracks skulls, knocks over convenience stores, and moons traffic. But he always prays while he's doing it and goes to church immediately afterwards.
* '''Downplayed''': Vic secretly reads the Bible in his spare time and prays whenever he's feeling particularly bad.
* '''Justified''': All the years of living on the edge have taken a toll on Vic's conscience, making him turn to religion.
* '''Subverted''': Vic only goes to church to [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas fulfill his mother's dying wish.]] He doesn't care much for religion himself.
* '''Double Subverted''': The many years of attending church and pretending to be religious [[BecomingTheMask have rubbed off on Vic]], and now his faith is genuine.
* '''Parodied''': Vic belongs to the Church of Latter-Day Face Punchers, which encourages its members to be Bible-thumping badasses.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Vic's faith wavers constantly throughout the series.
* '''Averted''': Vic's a BadassBiker, but his religious background is never delved into.
* '''Enforced''': The network/producer/etc. refuses to run characters that aren't religious, so the writers decided to add some scenes of Vic praying to get past the censors.
* '''Lampshaded''': " Hey, is that Vic? What's a guy like that doing in a church?"

* '''Defied''': " Sometimes a guy like me's got a little religion in him. [[WellThisIsNotThatTrope This is not one of those times.]]"
* '''Exploited''': The pastor of Vic's church caters his ministry specifically for outlaws like Vic as a way to get membership numbers up.
* '''Discussed''': " What, you think outlaws can't pray or something? Don't be so close minded."
* '''Deconstructed''': Despite his attempts to reconcile the two, Vic gradually realizes that his religion and his lifestyle are incompatible. He loses his faith and abandons his religion.
* '''Reconstructed''': Vic learns about Samson who, despite being an ass-kicking, hard-drinking maverick, was still a man of God. This renews his resolve and restores his faith.
* '''Played For Laughs''': Vic tries to be religious, but is hilariously inept at it: he tries to evangelize by punching people's faces in, he quotes from [[Film/Scarface1983 Scarface]] thinking it's from the Bible, and replaces the communion wine with whiskey.
