There are many who were raised religious, and — even though their life has moved away from adamantly following their religion's doctrine — are still really concerned with their religion and/or cite it often. This comes up very frequently in any Good Girls Avoid Abortion conversation, as when a female character will suddenly be revealed as a "good Catholic" who just can't do it. This also pops up a lot with many comedians, directors, and musicians. Even though they may be lapsed, converted to another religion, or are now atheists, religious imagery and topics often still appear in their works. There are also certain N-Word Privileges: a comedian who tells you they were raised religious is probably going to make a lot of religious jokes or observations about their faith, which might be deemed more offensive if it came from someone else. And if you were trying to be offensive, you'd want to offend something you've known and experienced all the reasons to dislike it the most. For whatever reason — perhaps because Christianity is Catholic — this is particularly common for those who were raised Catholic, and there seems to be no common Protestant equivalent to this trope, even though people paying lip service to their family or culture's religion is as old as religion itself. One possible explanation for this is that Catholicism, much more than Protestantism, is considered by some to be a part of one's ethnic and cultural identity in addition to being a religion, especially for those whose national heritage is tied to the Church (such as people of Irish, Italian, Polish, Hispanic, or Filipino descent); Informed Judaism pretty much works this way, as well. Another possibility is that compared to Protestantism, the Catholic Church places a somewhat stronger emphasis on iconography and ritual; this can then become a rich source of material for former Catholic authors who may no longer remember the subtler doctrinal aspects of Catholicism, or who also may require an easy cue for their non-Catholic audiences to recognize. The third probable answer is the fact that it used to be rather difficult to formally abandon membership in the Catholic Church, and since 2010, it's impossible, which means that the Church still considers practically all lapsed Catholics as members of its flock whether they like it or not. (That baptism leaves quite the indelible mark on the soul...) Yet this trope is by no means unique to Catholicism. There are Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran, LDS, Jehovah's Witness, Jewish, and even Pentecostal and Baptist equivalents of this trope. This is especially common in Russian works, where the Orthodox Church is an institution and has a huge influence on the culture, but is largely seen a means to an end (usually for marriage) and otherwise does not greatly impact individuals' personal lives. In much of Northern Europe, this applies to Finns, Norwegians, Swedes, and Danes who are registered as members of their national Lutheran Churches, even though many rarely attend. The same largely applies to the Englishnote To a degree also to the Welsh, while Scots are a little more religiously diverse, being split between Catholicism and multiple related varieties of Protestantism, who might causally refer to their church as "COE" (the Anglican Church Of England) There are various shadings of this. A "Sunday Catholic" is someone who attends Mass regularly, and may or may not follow Church doctrine closely; a "Christmas and Easter Catholic" is someone who attends Mass only on those holidays (and maybe such events as weddings and funerals), again regardless of how closely they hold to Church doctrine; a "cafeteria Catholic" is a usually derisive term for someone who chooses which of the Church's teachings to follow or ignore; an "ex-Catholic" or "recovering Catholic" has left the Church, may or may not self-identify or have formally converted to another religion, but still has the cultural baggage of having been raised Catholic; a "cultural Catholic" or "non-practicing Catholic" still identifies as Catholic due to family or ethnic heritage but really doesn't adhere to the religion itself; and a "lapsed Catholic" or "fallen-away Catholic" is the Catholic Church's own term for all of the above, except perhaps the "Sunday Catholic" (depending on how much they hew to Church doctrine and how much any differences can be justified as legitimate theological argument—which is, truth be told, rather a lot). Compare and contrast Ambiguously Christian. See also Ambivalent Anglican. These characters (and creators) commonly invoke Love Is Like Religion. |

Huntress, aka Helena Bertinelli, of the Batman family and Birds of Prey, doesn't bring it up often, but she wears cross jewelry and prays before she fights Lady Shiva, possibly to the death. Her faith has varied in strength over the years, from non-existent (an important plot point in one story) to firm (but never devout). The strength of her faith is used as a symbol of how much hope and optimism she has for the future. In bad times, her faith declines. For example, after causing the death of a mob boss who knew her identity, she throws away her cross. In good times, her faith is stronger. For example, she plans on attending Mass after getting her teaching job and feeling accepted by the Birds of Prey. | |

This is perhaps the most important theme in Brideshead Revisited; Catholicism has left an indelible mark on the souls of the errant Flytes (Lord Marchmain, Sebastian, and Julia), and all of them are eventually and almost inevitably reconciled with the Church. | |

Runaways: Nico Minoru has a strange relationship with her Catholicism: she seems to look back on it fondly, but the fact that her parents were trying to raise her to be a good Catholic while being terrible criminals unnerves her. She used to be an altar girl. Her family has been Catholic since at least the 1900's, when her ancestor Witchbreaker hunted "sinners" alongside the Adjudicator and Black Maria. She's functionally non-religious, but turns back to her faith for comfort and security, something she bonds over with Victor. | |

On House: Chase was raised Catholic, and in the Season 1 episode "Damned If You Do" it is revealed that he attended seminary before becoming a doctor. It's always interesting when the episode has nuns in it or otherwise mentions religion and God. He zigzags from one end of the belief/skepticism spectrum to the other throughout the series. One season 8 episode sees him fall in love with a novice nun patient and try to lure her away from the Church. His efforts actually get a What the Hell, Hero? from House himself. House tries to make things difficult at dinner with Cuddy and her mother by telling her mother he's an Atheist, (because his not being Jewish didn't do it). She's unfazed and tells him that half the Jewish people she knows are Atheists. |

Played for comedy with Mac in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, who only remembers his Catholic faith when he wants to complain or to criticize other people. In one episode Charlie and Mac are both okay with pre-marital sex and abortion but refuse to use birth control because "we went to Catholic school." | |

Edmund McMillen, the creator of The Binding of Isaac, was raised around Catholics and once compared the faith to Dungeons & Dragons. He cites Catholicism's morbid and violent imagery as influential on Isaac's development. In the game, there are many homages to Catholic teaching, such as the Seven Deadly Sins Isaac must defeat, the Rosary, the Bible, and even the Wafer. | |

Curb Your Enthusiasm occasionally has Larry, a firmly secular Jew, experience a culture clash with friends and relatives who actually practice. In one episode, he has a conversation with an man who keeps peppering his speech with Yiddish, prompting an annoyed Larry to start responding in gibberish. In another episode, an Orthodox houseguest grills him on where his milchig plates are, to the utter confusion of his Shiksa Goddess wife. | |

Jean Floressas des Esseintes from A Rebours is a French aristocrat who moves off to a house in the countryside; he had a Catholic upbringing and was instructed by the Jesuits. At some point, he abandoned the faith and turned to the philosophical ideas of the German pessimist Arthur Schopenhauer. In spite of this, des Esseintes still owns some Latin works by the early Catholic authors, and he could not help but connect Schopenhauer's pessimistic outlook with the resignation from the Imitation of Christ. At the end of the novel, he accepts that he has to go back to Paris (as his doctors told him), and he ultimately resigns himself to God. | |

Cut and Run's Nick O'Flaherty is Irish Catholic. He makes no mention of going to church and isn't really shown praying, but he's apparently practicing enough to stop dead in the middle of an armed chase scene after running by a church and realizing he might be about to kill people on Easter Sunday. He makes sure to cross himself before his friends pull him back to the chase. | |

Good Omens parodies this with the Satanic conspiracy working to bring about armageddon. Unlike the sort of self-proclaimed Satanists that you occasionally hear about on the news (described by Crowley as random mortal psychos who give even demons the creeps), rank-and-file members of the Ancient Conspiracy treat the Black Mass the same way that less devout Christians treat church: just a cultural tradition that you participate in once a week and then forget about the rest of the time. Even the nuns running the hospital where The Antichrist is delivered seem Affably Evil—all the better to present themselves as normal nuns to the American diplomat whose baby they plan to swap with the Antichrist (not to mention the local couple whose kid is accidentally replaced with the Antichrist instead). | |

The Wire When union boss Frank Sobotka and Police commissioner Stan Valchek butt heads over whose stained glass window will be added to the new Nave of the church, but it's implied neither man attends mass. Jimmy McNulty also is very ambiguously Catholic whose faith only seems to rear its head when he spurns Bushmills as Protestant whiskey. The drug game of Baltimore also has shades of this in the "Sunday Truce" it respects for the sabbath. Avon and Slim Charles are not churchgoing men either, but both are appalled that Stringer Bell lets two gunmen violate the truce by shooting at Omar and his mother as they attend church. |

The John Wick franchise uses lots of Christian imagery and terminology, such as Continental grounds considered consecrated and those who fall foul of the rules declared excommunicado.

Tim Drake and his late father Jack both fall into this category in Angel of the Bat, though Tim eventually finds much of his faith again. Though she wasn't raised with the faith, by the end Cassandra is a deeply spiritual cafeteria Catholic mostly as a result of her pansexuality and the girl she starts dating. Even the author, who calls himself a deeply religious man, is also a big proponent of God Before Dogma. | |

Cole St. Clair in Wolves of Mercy Falls Series is heavily implied to be this, without the title "Catholic" ever being used. He is seen holding a rosary, "Fingers grasping the beads as if the gesture was familiar" and later, an interviewer questions his belief in God, quoting Cole's former role as a choir boy. Given that Cole is now a Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll poster child, he is very much the lapsed sort. | |

The Goldbergs aren't exactly observant Jews - they have a seriously not-kosher diet involving seafood, pork and dairy sauce, often together - but have bar-mitzvahs, respect festivals like Channukah, and where weddings happen, they are in synagogues or with a Rabbi in attendance, under the canopy. Otherwise, religion doesn't figure. Grandfather Pop-Pops has complained in a restaurant about his family eating traife food, and in public insisted on his right to a kashrut choice. He has also protested about the Goldbergs celebrating Christmas in everything except name. Otherwise he has simply not bothered. | |
