There is zero evidence of Usagi's religious beliefs in the manga. You might as well say she's a Hinduist, there's nothing to contradict it.
Considering she portrayed the Messiah was a human female, her beliefs in reincarnation (which is anti-Christian), and her views on the afterlife expressed in the manga, it's obvious she at least was not Christian when she wrote Sailor Moon. Also, according to a fan website:
"The report that she is Christian, is most likely false. She was officially married in a Shinto shrine."
As for Haruka, her homosexuality combined with her views on life point her to be staunchly non-Christian. By views on life I mean her willingness to kill anyone, even the woman she loves, to achieve her goal, her refusal to believe in redemption for people, and even rebelling against her queen. Homosexuality aside, these beliefs aren't particularly compatible with Christianity.
As Morwen said, the cross is a fashion symbol. Ever seen kids in America wearing Yin-Yang symbols? Do you think those kids are Chinese philosophers? No, they just think it looks cool. To Japan the cross is a symbol that just "looks cool" and hardly ever (if ever) has Christian significance attached to it.

Example: Vic (Insert Difficult Italian Last Name here), who is a known Christian, V/A's a character (Edward Elric) who is NOT a Christian (possibly athiest).
