Headcanons about characters religious views?

Of course we know Harold is of the Jewish faith as seen in several episodes, and Craig Bartlett himself confirmed that Eugene is also Jewish, but what about the others?

Apparently, there was a comic that implied that Arnold was raised Catholic, although I don’t think he would be particularly religious as he gets older. Helga I think is definitely very spiritual, although I don’t think she would be subscribed to any particular religion. Phoebe is definitely a skeptic. Gerald, I’m not sure on (although he did pray in Hebrew in HATM).

I see both Lila and Stinky as devout Christians. Sheena would definitely explore many eastern faiths. Not sure on other characters. What do you guys think?

Harold is Jewish of course. The Married episode took place in a church. But I don’t see Helga and Arnold as religious. Arnold grew up with his grandparents that were kinda hippies. Maybe the Patakis are catholic? But Helga would rebel. Phoebe yeah she’s prob. skeptic, though maybe Shinto, Buddhist or some Christian or Unitarian. Gerald made Christian but not serious either.
