Question for the marvel fen about Eli Bradley

I'm fairly certain that it's never mentioned in canon whether Eli Bradley practices any particular faith, if at all. But considering his family, it's always been my head canon that he's muslim - though I'm not positive about which branch. I'm fairly split between the Nation of Islam and Sunni Islam, but there are of course other branches and off-shoots... (Is it ever elaborated on in canon what branches Faith Shabazz and Josiah X belong to? The name changes imply Nation, but I'm not sure if it's ever actually outright said. This is what I get for not having read The Crew yet.)

What's your opinion? Do you have head canon regarding other characters religious affiliations (or lack there of)? Share!

Legalese: from Dark Reign: Young Avengers because it still remains awesome always and forever.

Jackie Mason is a former rabbi who became a stand up comedian-a very ethnic type of comedy that relies on his Jewishness- and is now a political commentator. Personally, I can't stand him 95% of the time and I think his political commentary is funnier than his comedy, but he's probably fluent in Yiddish.

Laverne and Shirley aren't Jewish at all and I don't think there was even anyone explicitly Jewish in the series, but the theme song uses two fairly well-known Yiddish words. (Schlemiel, Schlmozzle)

I"m guessing that the Yiddish Peter used was things like "Oy vey" "schpiel," "schmuck" and the like that wouldn't be unusual to hear from someone who isn't Jewish. Half of the Yiddish words that I just used aren't even flagged by Microsoft spell check.

He sometimes goes a smidge more obscure, but yes, pretty much.
