That's basically my point... that where appropriate, I don't think that it's 'edgy' or 'brave' to bring up religion. I can actually see the Remus attending a church if the author believably sets him up as half-and-half or Muggleborn. (I don't think it's been confirmed that he's Pureblood, has it? *mental note to research*) I read a story where Mrs. Black was Catholic and that had me going BWA? simply because it wasn't believable in the set-up the author used. (add to it that said author had no clue about the Catholic faith and, well, it was painful)
It's more that there's a lack of the subtle religious identifiers as well, like the cursing. I've found that the "Jesus, Mary and Joseph" thing, for example, is said by practicing and non-practicing Catholics. They say it by routine not religion (if that makes sense).
For Seamus and the exposed to the Muggle world - his da's Muggle... he'd have to be at least partially exposed to the Muggle world if just to visit his da's family, yeah?
I'm very embarrassed that my American is showing *blushes*. Thanks for pointing that out with the church on Sundays thing... *blushes again*
