I love this bit of graffiti at a rest stop in Secret Six: Unhinged, because it's the sort of thing you would see in the U.S. in a world that was mostly equivalent to ours, but with the addition of Superman. 

I find theology in the DCU to be fascinating. I myself am an atheist, but it's very difficult to imagine what my belief system would be in a universe where the Spectre is the right hand of God and people have actually gone to Hell and returned.

Plus, the angels/demons/metahuman corollary is very rich and interesting.

I think you could still be an atheist, but your approach would have to explain the difference between metahuman powers and miracles.  I find it all very compelling, and I obviously go to that well pretty often. I have had people yelling at me for 'supporting' religious views that I don't hold, but that the characters do, which I always see as understandable, but a little bit of a sad statement on how we process fiction currently.
