sigh...no love for Unitarians.
It is unclear why the bear, which was wearing ice skates at the time, attacked Mr Potapov. The bear was later shot by police. Deadly attacks are rare in the country's circuses, which often train bears to wear skates and play ice hockey.

Nor Wiccans....
Funny.. I coulda SWORE there were at least a couple of praticing Wiccans in the halls of comic book lore.
But the author seems to be markedly reluctant to give any of the various pagan and neo-pagan faiths their proper names.

There are stories of faeries and banshees and the walking dead; but "the worst of them all," is the Fool of Forth, the Amadan-na-Briona, he whose stroke is, as death, incurable.
As to the fool in this world, the pity for him is mingled with some awe, for who knows what windows may have been opened to those who are under the moon's spell, who do not give in to our limitations, are not "bound by reason to the wheel."

Well, that's nice to know.
Considering the lack of dogma in the UU faith, several comic book characters might qualify as de facto Unitarians.

Also interesting that the poster makes little effort to distinguish between those who practice a given religion versus those who were merely raised in a given religious tradition.

For the most part, neither does society - so it's not an unreasonable thing to do.

On the side there's a section talking about how some have it as more central, making references, etc. like Nightcrawler.

That society does something is hardly a guarantee that it's reasonable.

I've got to admit, that is a good site. Could use some work here and there, but they do cover a lot of characters.

I'm kind of curious as to how they come to the conclusion that these characters are of thier particular religion. Some of them I know for certain since they've flat out said so in the comics but what of others? Or have I not not read enough comics in my life?
