If you write a fic where a character is Ambiguously-Christian in canon and make them Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican, etc. I don't really care

This also qualifies if you decide to head canon a character as non-Christian (I actually read a Jewish!Phil Coulson head canon a while ago, I actually thought it was pretty neat especially because they managed to pick out a few things from canon that would support this)

I just get really pissed when characters that aren't shown to be religious in canon start going into full on SUPERHARDCOREBIBLEJESUS-MODE when it's 1) out of place in the fic 2) is really OOC for them.

Like when I read an XMFC one-shot where Charles recited the entirety of the Hail Mary when it made absolutely no sense in the fic.

(And this is coming from a former-Catholic who went to Catholic school for 9 years, is still a spiritual person and has several friends who are practicing Catholics)

Agreed, so much. If it's a hole in canon, fill it any way you like. Or like the comment below says, if it makes sense for the canon, sure.

But usually IME when characters are made religious in fic, it's to turn them into the author's mouthpiece, and they start behaving really OOC. Like the fic I read (part of) once where Hermione was desperate to make sure all the Weasleys accepted Jesus as their lord and savior. (It was all the more jarring because it was very obvious the author was a particular mostly-American denomination.)

Even worse, when a character is turned into a hardcore bible thumper in a setting where Christianity doesn't even exist. Like most scifi fandoms where there is no Earth and thus no associated religions.

Wow, I've never encountered Biblethump fic. That must be special.

Only sort of religious fic I can ever recall encountering were a few Justice League fics that had Blue Beetle II as Jewish... and he wasn't particularly devout, it was just a minor thing.
