To be honest, creatures and figures with religious origins are relatively common in fairy tales. The devil from The Snow Queen, The Devil With the Three Golden Hairs, and other well known/obscure classics are good examples – same with the two djin in Aladdin and the Magic Lamp among other 1001 Nights tales, because the djin are  prominent figures in Islam. Some have also made comparisons between the Fairy With Azure Hair from Pinocchio and the Virgin Mary,  but it's more symbolic than an explicit refrence (given that Italy is a pretty Catholic country, it doesn't surprise me). It's kind of hard to ignore religious beliefs that an OC has (or lack there of, whether if they are athiest/agnostic/etc), especially when fairy tales often reflect the culture that they came from, religious aspect included.

I'd say that it's completely okay to bring up an OC's religion/religious belief on their page as long as you feel that it's relevant. Just make sure that it's not addressed in a bigoted manner (for example avoid harmful  stereotypes applied to different religious groups and stuff that insults one's religion or someone's lack of religion). And if an OC has bigoted beliefs about another's religion and such, just be careful when it comes to addressing it, same goes with racist/sexist/other-ism stuff.

Would be rather interesting to see this become a topic that discusses our OCs' religious beliefs. As mentioned above, it's alright by me as long as we're mindful/conscious about this discussion.
