Ambiguously Christian	comment	Ambiguously Christian characters may mention celebrating Christian holidays such as Christmas or Easter (especially if they happen to be Santa Clausmas or Easter Bunny Easter) reference to a Fluffy Cloud Heaven or Fire and Brimstone Hell, make some non-specific prayers to a 'higher power' or give some indication of believing or even mentioning a monotheistic (nearly always male) God, especially if he is of the Grandpa God interpretation. Variations on phrases such as "The Big Guy" or "The Man Upstairs" are sometimes used, but explicit mentions of Jesus Christ (or other religious figures such as the Virgin Mary, the Holy Spirit, saints, etc.) are not used - unless a character is swearing. This is often used in works where the religious practices of characters are not a major focus (and could distract from the plot). Many of the more exaggerated examples are found in media intended for children, as the closest thing most get to mentioning religious holidays is a Christmas Episode, religion could be a bit too complicated for younger kids to understand, and addressing these things could even be considered controversial. Writers also use this trope to avoid having to research what Christianity or a specific Christian denomination actually teaches. On the other hand, this can be played quite realistically if the character is Culturally Religious without being especially religious now. They may maintain a respect for their faith but simply not have many occasions to bring it up. It may also get a bit more complicated if we consider character types like the Churchgoing Villain or Religious Bruiser, who may adhere just as much to the outward trappings of Christianity, but whose behavior isn't exactly on board with its ethical or nonviolent teachings. Compare/Contrast Crystal Dragon Jesus, where the religion is explicitly not Christianity, yet still holds elements commonly associated with it. Compare Jesus Taboo. Also related to Church of Saint Genericus, where it's a church/religion that's left ambiguous. Often overlaps with Christianity is Catholic. Ambiguously Jewish is the Jewish version of this. Such a character may or may not be the Token Religious Teammate. See also Everyone Is Christian at Christmas, when a character's Christian faith becomes suddenly apparent at the holidays despite little mention of it before.

Ambiguously Christian / int_1331990c	comment	Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Homura mentions having gone to a Catholic school prior to transferring, but it is unknown whether she was Catholic herself or even a Christian in general. A major part of Kyouko's backstory involves her father being a minister who was kicked out of his church for his non-orthodox teachings. It's unclear whether she retains any belief due to being rather cynical, but she does toss out a prayer right before making a Heroic Sacrifice.

In a later chapter, he quotes the Bible once while arguing with his father ("the truth will set you free"). However, outside these allusions, none of them seems to actually practice the faith.

However, a supreme being is never even mentioned, let alone any sort of denomination, and though there is an afterlife mentioned, little detail has been given on it.

Examples include wearing a cross necklace while riding a motorcycle in the manga, dressing up as an angel before he prays, dressing up as a priest first, complete with multiple crosses, when attempting to rid himself of a curse, and finally being crucified wearing nothing but a banner displaying his perverted actions and covering his Gag Penis.

Ambiguously Christian / int_278b4381	comment	Clarissa Explains It All is one of the few Nickelodeon shows to have any mentions of religion at all, and even then quite subtly, there were a few one-off lines mentioning sin and God and the religious aspects of secularized holidays like Christmas were occasionally quietly acknowledged even if never in the forefront. It was thus heavily implied that the Darling family were Christians (which would be the default assumption of a middle-class white family in the American Midwest in the early '90s), even though they were never shown going to church or engaging in any explicitly religious behavior.

Ambiguously Christian / int_2f9517bf	comment	D.Gray-Man: Cross Marian seems to fit this trope, with even his name being a reference to The Marian Cross. He is also the most affiliated with Crucifixes. He wears a rosary necklace, his mask has a cross on it, and he's the creator of Timcampy, who also has a cross design on his front. Not only these things, but he also appears to be an actual priest. He has been referred to as a priest on a few separate occasions. When Allen first meets him in D.Gray-Man Reverse, he refers to him as a priest -given his wardrobe. A villager in Krory's village mentions him as a priest. Barba always refers to him as "Father." Finally, Mother is a patron of his, and she mentions in Reverse, that she's in charge of watching over the church while Cross is away. Finally, Hoshino Katsura, the mangaka drew official art of him wearing high priest robes on the cover of the Reverse novel.◊ But all of these things are just shown in passing. Over the course of the 224 manga chapters + Reverse novels, Cross' Christianity or Priesthood hasn't been a focal point and is easily missed among many fans given some of Cross' less than Christianly behavior.

Pre-release art depicted him with a neck tattoo that showed praying hands holding a cross. Mr. K wears a crucifix while he is being tortured due to being accused of working with terrorists and him coming from Azerbaijan (a predominantly Muslim country). While his faith goes unmentioned, it's heavily implied that he is Eastern Christiannote Since his country happens to be neighboring only Christian nation around the region Armenia, where predominantly the population is Oriental Orthodox or belong to Armenian Apostolic Church. So thus it's possible Mr. K is Oriental Orthodox, and yet again they are a minority of Western (not Eastern) Catholics in the country too, so there other probably that K could be Western Catholic too.

Unlike the rest of the game, it is completely silent, and all the NPCs inside talk about the grace of life and other philosophical subjects. However, no explicit reference is made to any real-world or in-universe faith. In the Japanese version, it's called the "Foreign Culture Building", which might suggest it's "foreign" in that Christianity is more commonplace outside of Sinnoh.

Ambiguously Christian / int_343cde5e	comment	Merlin: A major plot point is the persecution of magic and magic-wielding cultures, so occasional mention is paid to "The Old Religion"; no mention is ever made, however, of what the new religion is. Nary a priest or bishop ever appears in Camelot, no cross is ever seen, and no one ever invokes God or Jesus, despite ostensibly taking place in a time when Christianity was spreading like wildfire across Western Europe, and with characters that were historically associated heavily with the religion. That said, the series is clearly not even trying to be historical, and if it weren't for the very final scene of the series confirming it is set in England, you'd be forgiven for thinking it takes place in another world entirely.

Ambiguously Christian / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter. The wizarding world celebrates Christianity-influenced holidays such as Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine's (but in a secular way), and their big hospital (St. Mungo's) is named after a saint, but no one ever mentions/goes to church, prays, or mentions what religion they are. However, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry carves a cross into a tree in memorial of Mad-Eye Moody. James and Lily's grave has a Bible quotation on it ("The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death" from 1 Corinthians 15:26), as does Dumbledore's sister's ("Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" from Matthew 6:21), but they are never identified as such in-universe. The Hufflepuff House ghost, the Fat Friar, was indeed a friar when he was alive. Make of that what you will. Professor McGonagall's father was a muggle Presbyterian minister. It's not made clear whether she shares his religion. Muggles opposed to magic never seem to bring up religion as a reason. It's one thing when it's the Dursleys, who are modern-day suburbanites, but the series also contains references to medieval witch hunts and never suggests that those might have been motivated by religion. Most notably, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them has an anti-magic organization called the Second Salemers. Their name is an obvious reference to the Salem witch trials, and the aesthetics associated with them are very Puritan, but there are still no explicit references to religion.

Ambiguously Christian / int_4456bd7b	comment	Riverdale features multiple ambiguously-Christian cults, apparently out of a fear of directly representing an overtly Christian group as villainous. The Sisters of Quiet Mercy are said to be a group of former Catholic nuns, but it's unclear whether they're still Christian. The Farm is a New Age-y cult with a charismatic leader who adopted the Sisters' abandoned compound, some of their religious imagery, and all of their doctrinal ambiguity. The Blossom Ministry, a weird church established by Penelope and Cheryl Blossom, features Christian decor and imagery (and at one point has Kevin and Cheryl singing a number from Jesus Christ Superstar,) but it also seems to revolve around Jason Blossom as a savior figure in place of Jesus, plus a lot more maple syrup metaphors than you'd expect in a Christian sect.

While he and Ellie are fleeing from infected, he can be heard telling her to watch her language, and after shooting infected he'll sometimes say "Lord, forgive them." He also states to be under the belief that "everything happens for a reason". He admits during his fight with Ellie that she momentarily "shook his faith", and the developer's commentary describes him as someone who believes he's been chosen by a higher power. A banner hung in the steakhouse, possibly written by him, reads "When we are in need, he shall provide!". Carried over to its sequel The Last of Us Part II with a religious cult called the â€œSeraphitesâ€�. Seraphs are the highest-ranking group of angels in Christianity (theyâ€™re in the other Abrahamic religions too but not as important) found in the books of Isiah and Revelations. They perform human sacrifice by disemboweling people whom they believe are â€œnested with sinâ€�. They call people who leave their group â€œapostatesâ€� which is a word from the New Testament describing people whoâ€™ve left the church.

Ambiguously Christian / int_5ca2f3f9	comment	Wizards of Waverly Place features mythical creatures such as 'angels' (which aren't exclusive to Christianity) but they are portrayed as secular. There is a bit of a subversion, however, as a viewer may see the Santo Nino candles in the lair, and Max mentions that they go to church in one episode. Considering that they are explicitly an Italian-Hispanic family, they are almost certainly Catholic...if Santo Nino wasn't already a giveaway.

However, none of the characters are seen actively practicing Christian worship nor is any explicit naming of the religion shown. Though there is a passing mention of one of the characters being Christened. Even the Corbettite Order, while having lots of Catholic monastic trappings up to and including a confessional and having fealty to the Popenote The one in Belfast, don't really mention religion much, seeming to believe that running the trains is how they express their religion.

But, then again, Mello never was one for playing by the rules! , as well as a matching bracelet, and crosses and even a Virgin Mary graphic appear on his clothes occasionally. He also has a crucifix on the wall, a little cross charm on his gun, and a small Marian shrine on the mantle in his personal living space. He also refers in Another Note to The Almighty. This, and a real name Mihael Keehl that marks Mello as being possibly from a predominantly Catholic country or ethnic background, leads many fans to believe that he is a practicing Catholic. It would also be a plausible reason to fight against Kira besides besting Near, whom he technically gave the role of L's successor to in a fit of sour grapes. However, it is never actually confirmed In-Universe if Mello actually is a Catholic, or if he was one but is not anymore, or is one In Name Only, or if he's some other type of Christian (real or made-up) that's similar to Catholicism but isn't, or if he just thinks the crosses, and such look cool.

Ambiguously Christian / int_8df5521b	comment	Superman is often portrayed as being a Christian — which would make sense, considering that he was raised in a traditional American home in rural Kansas. However, most writers tend to only imply this and leave it as ambiguous as possible: According to Elliot S! Maggin, Superman and his parents were Methodists in pre-Crisis stories (at least the ones written by Maggin). However, editorial did not allow him to make this explicit. Geoff Johns, Fabian Nicieza, and Kurt Busiek later co-wrote a post-Crisis story in which the Kents were explicitly members of a Methodist church. In the New 52, Grant Morrison made Ma and Pa Baptists (with no mention of what Clark himself believed). In Superman for All Seasons by Jeph Loeb, Superman is a friend of the local, Protestant pastor in Smallville. In Superman: For Tomorrow by Brian Azzarello, Superman befriends a Catholic priest and takes confession with him. In Superman: Redemption by Kurt Busiek, Superman is basically agnostic, partly because he lives in a Fantasy Kitchen Sink and partly because when he was a boy he stopped going to church because his super-hearing enabled him to hear other members of the congregation whispering nasty things to each other. All of the above examples are somewhat in contrast to an earlier tradition of writing Superman as metaphorically Jewish. Both Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, as well as editor Mort Weisinger, considered Superman's most defining creators, were Jewish, and many argue that Superman's story as an infant and exile and immigrant from Krypton to Earth and America, make him a Jewish coded character, as does the name Kal-El. Throughout the Silver Age and in the pre-Crisis portion of the Bronze Age, Superman is often shown to be a believer in Kryptonian faith, saying "Great Rao" and so on, which many see as a stand-in for the Jewish faith that Superman practises privately while publicly as Clark Kent he assimilates or tries to assimilate as an American and a civilian. Brian Michael Bendis has stated in interviews that his Superman run is meant to restore this subtext, which is why he changed Superman's origin to make him a survivor of a genocide.

Stan Lee, when he married Peter and Mary Jane, chose a secular non-denominational ceremony presided over by a judge for the newspaper strip, a decision that Marvel's EIC Jim Shooter also honored in the ASM Wedding Annual for the main continuity (where they got married at the steps of City Hall), and the word "god" was not mentioned in either wedding ceremony. Since Peter Parker is Irish-American, it's left ambiguous if he's Scots-Irish (i.e., Irish-Americans who are Protestants and who assimilated heavily, and in fact are more numerous than the Irish-American Catholic community) or Irish-American Catholic. His uncle and his aunt, his adopted parents, are implied to have been churchgoers and religious. Other writers try and present Peter as ambiguously Christian (J. M. DeMatteis) or Ambiguously Jewish (Brian Michael Bendis, writing Peter's Ultimate Marvel counterpart). During The Amazing Spider-Man (J. Michael Straczynski), Peter would occasionally call out to and argue with the Abrahamic God. Jose Molina later wrote a story called Amazing Grace where Peter was clarified to be a lapsed Catholic (which has yet to be referenced by other writers). Mark Millar and Dan Slott, in trying to emphasize his scientific roots, also show him as an atheist or at least someone who is uncomfortable with prayer and religious displays.

Ambiguously Christian / int_bdb1fb9a	comment	The Batman Film Series takes place in a Christian world, with a Jewish presence here and there (a kosher butcher shop appears in the 1989 film), but outright references to religion are few and far between. Batman Forever does have Bruce Wayne saying, in reference to his parents' deaths, "On the night of the wake, the priest's words brought no comfort" (which could simply be another example of Christianity is Catholic), and both of the Schumacher films deal heavily in such Christian themes as guilt, forgiveness, and salvation without mentioning Christianity itself. The 1989 film shows a medieval Gothic cathedral towering over Gotham City, but the inside suggests that no one has set foot inside it in years, if not decades. Batman Returns takes place entirely during the Christmas season, but the citizens celebrate Santa Clausmas - and, interestingly enough, a line from the speech at the tree-lighting ceremony, "In this season of the Savior's birth...", was ultimately cut from the film, as a somewhat clumsy edit makes clear. There is never explicit mention of Bruce Wayne's Christianity.

There are what appear to be Christian churches, but the only clergy we ever see are Wolfwood, his teacher Chapel, and the Eye of Michael in the manga, all of whom are actually assassins. Part of the ambiguity comes from the fact that the creator Yasuhiro Nightow, a Catholic convert, wanted to incorporate Christian themes but didn't want to alienate Japanese audiences by being too explicit about it.

Ambiguously Christian / int_c66f52d9	comment	Todd in the Shadows has discussed this in his videos, often in the context of "Christian" Pop Punk bands that avoid putting explicit religious themes in their music so that they don't get pigeonholed as Christian Rock, instead keeping it mostly subtextual. His rule of thumb is that an album must have 50% "certifiable Christ content" before he'll call it Christian rock. In his One-Hit Wonderland episode on "Face Down", he argued that The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus were this trope in their early career to the point where it seemed like they were doing the reverse of what many such bands did: instead of luring in secular kids with what sounds like pop-punk only to hit them with a sermon, they (especially on their sophomore album Lonely Road) were luring in Christian kids with song titles like "You Better Pray" only for it to turn out to be a song about kicking their asses. (As he notes, however, they did become a more straightforwardly Christian band on their later albums once they went independent.)

Particularly notable considering an overwhelming majority of the 'holiday trees' Jack finds in the woods are Christian holidays, the two exceptions being Thanksgiving and Independence Day. Jack mentions God once or twice during the song 'Poor Jack' but it's done in a way that is exclamatory rather than overtly religious. It would make the most sense to suggest that Jack and the other residents of Halloweentown are Druid (as the Halloween holiday originally was) or maybe practitioners of Voodoo (since they are all undead beings). The spoof The Nightmare Before Chanukah on an episode of The Critic has that Jack come upon a rabbi in Chanukahtown and asks if he's in Christmastown, the rabbi sarcastically tells him no, he's at the Vatican.
