    What religion is Thor (and the rest of the Norse gods? I doubt that they would worship themselves. Maybe they worship Odin, but the dynamic between Thor and Odin is wrong for that.

    @NomadMaker Someone's already asked that question, though it wouldn't apply to this question, as in the MCU, Asgardians are aliens from another planet, thus any religion they practice (if they have one at all) would be a fictional one. Commented Jul 5, 2022 at 21:12

    It doesn't appear that any of the Marvel characters besides Nightcrawler are really practicing their religion. I admit I'm not 100% familiar with every Marvel comic, but have seen most, and no real evidence of religious practice. P.S. FYI: Jewish converts often find the phrase "ethnically Jewish" offensive. "Jew by birth" would be more accurate and inoffensive. Not bashing, just informing.

    Maybe I'm misremembering, but doesn't quite a lot of the Daredevil Netflix show revolve around Matt trying to reconcile his superhero responsibilities with his Catholic belief & upbringing?

    I don't know that I'd agree that the Catholic angle is downplayed in the Netflix version of Daredevil - Murdock frequently seeks Father Paul Lantom's counsel, and (spoilers)....................................................at the start of season 3, he's pretty much residing in a hostel or something run by nuns out of a church while recovering from an injury that affected his hearing. And then of course (more spoilers)..........................................................he finally finds out he's actually the son of the nun who's caring for him (she conceived him in a moment of weakness).
