I don't like people shoving their ideologies in fic, no matter what they are. Religion included. I think religious fic can be done well if it's not obvious proselytizing and if it makes sense, but I've seen too much that's just clumsy and bad writing.

I think canon creators being vague about characters' religion just leads to people pasting things onto them, though - there's a character I've headcanoned as Jewish, which makes sense given his name, family, some of his behavior, and where he lives. He has a moment in the series where he thinks he's about to die horribly, and he thinks "oh Jesus." So, am I pasting this Jewish identity onto him? Cultural contamination? Is he an agnostic who doesn't care whose name he uses? Is he a Christian? In the end it doesn't matter, since his religion isn't important to the story, but if I'm writing a fic about the guy I might want to know these things.
