^^ Cam Clarke. He doesn't do a whole lot of anime (actually, the only one I can think of is Robotech...unless you count RPGs, which he tends to get cast in), but he's a really good voice actor in original American shows.

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.


Thanks for setting me strait. I guess I'll have to inject the Christian Elements in my Sailor Moon Fanfic. BTW,kaemmerite are you a Hotaru Tomoe fan? because I like her too. As for my Fanfic,I think All christian Sailor Moon Fans will Love it.

Seems to me a bit too much jumping to conclusions have been going on here.
The general rule of thumb should be unless the manga-ka themselves personally and publicly talks about their religion/politics take anything that anyone else may say with a grain of salt,since all it is is hearsay.The same should be said about their characters.Unless it is publicly noted in a series or interview that a character is a Christian then we shouldn't guess.Too many times presumption leads to
the making of fools.

Several of the characters from "Saint Tail" are Catholic. That's a kind of cute kids' anime.
Oscar Wilde:
"Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination."
"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months."
"One can survive everything, nowadays, except death, and live down everything except a good reputation."
"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone elses opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."

Robin Senna is also Catholic,though I think I may have pointed that out before.And of course the main characters in Trinity Blood are also all Catholic as well.
Rumiko Takahashi's One Pound Gospel includes a character who is a nun.

If you want a friendship with Vic,don't pester him too much. You can lose friends that way.

I'm certain this doesn't count, since it's a game (with anime graphics. That's my uber-weak loophole), but...

Ky Kiske from Guilty Gear does seem be a Christian.

Katsumi Liqueur on Silent Mobius is probably a nominal Christian.The protection spell she originally uses is actually an old Folk Prayer.Admittedly the only person who's religion is definite on SM is Nami,who happens to be a Miko Priestess like
Kikyo.
