Marvel/DC universe's civilians? The heroes themselves? What would you believe if you lived in a world with super people?

If its a superhero universe then they will just be better at finding the truth I would think.

There are atheists, Christians, Muslims, etc. in comic book universes.

God/the afterlife is pretty much a fact in the Marvel/DC universes. Many different heroes have gone to the other side and come back.

Its almost like asking if they believe in ghosts or aliens. They encounter them all the time.

As far as regular joes go, it is supposed to mirror normal society, I guess.

I'll take irrelevant thread topics for $100, Alex.

Edit: I skimmed through and found that people are actually taking this seriously and not making stupid comments. I should've read before commenting. My bad.

Nightcrawler, Hellboy, Gambit, Punisher, Banshee, and many others are Catholic.

Captain America mentions believing in God in The Avengers.

I don't know if Superman believes in Rao, the god for the Kryptonians, as a Kryptonian himself or God for Earth, as a resident of Earth himself.

Here's an interesting website that has some examples of how character's religion have been portrayed.

https://www.comicbookreligion.com/

It can vary by writer. I remember reading a Batman story a couple years ago and he says something like, "I'm a scientist. I don't believe in the supernatural."

This is the same guy who has teamed with the Spectre, Deadman, and Dr. Fate.
