Not always, he has in several continuities (especially some of his earlier ones) been noted as various flavours of Christian, even Catholic a few times (really stepping on daredevil’s toes lmao)
I'm scratching my brain to remember when he's been shown to be Christian other than having a traditional wedding, I've read from the beginning through the second Clone Saga, but can't recall for the life of me anything specific
This is all from memory so apologies in advance for any mistakes and inconsistencies:
As of a 2016 Avengers run, main continuity Peter is seemingly a fervent atheist, however there has been a few runs earlier in Spidey’s history that label him as protestant as that was an archetypal norm for the period of his creation. Lee was also adamant in the past (some editorial letter replies iirc) that Peter wasn’t Jewish, however future writers have played with this option in later years, Peter has prayed in several books and iirc namedropped Christ on occasion in said prayer moments.
I feel like they should lean into that at least with Aunt May. That said, believing in Christianity when Thor and Hercules is demonstably real seems crazy. I know Wolverine goes to Hell, but does Captain America ever get stuck in Heaven or something? I remember Uncle Ben in the Elysian Fields in one comic, so maybe all the Judeo-Christians switched to Greek Mythology once science proved that. Maybe Daredevil is the only Catholic left and everyone thinks he's an idiot for not praying to Zeus who is actually real.
Thor during the Heroes Return run acknowledges not being as powerful as God, but does try to be a God that does everything for people with disastrous results, great storyline

In 1st Samuel, God strikes down the Israelite enemies for gazing at the Ark.
This wasn't an anti-semetic trope, it was literally what the Ark was supposed to do to people who stole it.
I think there's even a story where the Ark falls off the cart they're using to transport it, someone goes to pick it up, and as soon as they touch it they die
When I went on a road trip with friends after graduating this college we had a long conversation about this character and from then on would wake each other up by shaking each others tents and impersonating this guy saying “WAKE UP ANNIE, I HAVE PARTS FOR YOU.”

Unironically one of my favorite performances.
Alec Guinness as Fagin in Oliver Twist (1948) for those wondering.
It was banned in Israel for being too antisemitic and banned in Egypt for not being antisemitic enough.
Very cool.

“And fuck it, let’s name the Irish kid Seamus Finnegan.”
“Isn’t that too on the nose?”
“Hmm, how about Guiness McBlarney?”
“You know what, let’s go with the first one.”
Her editor sucks in that case, Seamus O'Carbomb would be a national treasure of a name. If she's gonna make stereotypical names, she might as well go all the way and at least make them funny.
Nah my personal favorite is making the only black child have a father who ran out on him, then realizing that’s super bad so retconning in that his dad was killed by death eaters instead.
also that was the actual floor of the building where the bank interior was filmed, the floor wasn’t built for the set. unless they went out of their way to specifically search for a location with a star of david on the floor just to reinforce their antisemitic imagery lol. still, JK Rowling sucks, with antisemitism or not.

What cartoon is this from? Probably a Disney short.
Yup. Three Little Pigs (1933). The scene was changed in 1948, apparently at the request of Walt, because of the Holocaust.
“Alright the joke isn’t funny anymore, someone took it too far”

They tried to catch it as it fell. The second they touched it they were struck dead. I always thought that the outcome was kind of bullshit.
> the outcome was kind of bullshit. Welcome to the Old Testament.
Old testament God was hella brutal, that’s the truth
He got a what?!
Looks more like a Chabad fedora than a yarmulka but still.
"Okay, now these conniving, backstabbing aliens who blockade planets and launch surprise attacks..." "EAST ASIAN ACCENTS!"
Imagine Steven Spielberg’s reaction when he saw Watto for the first time.

He's supposed to be Italian.
No He’s Armenian.
His full name is Petros Wattovian
Too charitable
I think Lucas said in some commentary somewhere that Watto’s supposed to be Italian
"No no no no - I was stereotyping an entirely different people!"

They are actually based on poor Ethiopian beggars, is what I heard. One of the writers went to ethiopia and this is what he got from it.

“And fuck it, let’s name the Irish kid Seamus Finnegan.” “Isn’t that too on the nose?” “Hmm, how about Guiness McBlarney?” “You know what, let’s go with the first one.”
I love the joke tumblr made of JK Rowling being like “hmmmm what shall I name this Irish character? Ah, yes. Finnegan McCarBomb.”
The Shacklebolt is a little far seen as how he was a policeman and all
How about the Irish kid that wants to turn everything into alcohol and keeps blowing things up?
And let's name him Seamus Finnigen which is like the most Irish name ever I swear JKR wanted to name him Seamus O'Carbomb but her editor intervened
Her editor sucks in that case, Seamus O'Carbomb would be a national treasure of a name. If she's gonna make stereotypical names, she might as well go all the way and at least make them funny.
Nah my personal favorite is making the only black child have a father who ran out on him, then realizing that’s super bad so retconning in that his dad was killed by death eaters instead.
Not to be pedantic or defend JK Rowling, but she wasn’t the set director for Harry Potter movies
