Eli's not mentioned there, but your theory seems sound.

I usually don't ascribe beliefs when I haven't seen evidence of them elsewhere in the character's personality/morals/etc, plus the parade of writers makes for inconsistent views on what denominations/sects characters would or should belong to. For instance, counter to some of the points raised by the above sight, I think Superman does have a light Christian background, but it's fairly progressive and populist given the way his parents would have passed their view of dogma onto him, and Batman is agnostic if he believes in God at all (for obvious reasons).

Oddly, I usually read Spider-Man as very atheistic, largely because he's such a science nerd like Reed Richards. But there's probably a fairly deep belief in a higher power, order of things and innate sense of right and wrong there.
