I don't know that I'd necessarily identify them with any religion, as the
Glasses didn't seem to "bring them up" anything.  Les Glass is Jewish and
Bessie is an Irish Catholic.

But the kids seem to belong to the Church of Seymour.  Their horse-buyer who
told them what to believe...  And Buddy trusts no one else to buy horses for
him.  So they spend the rest of their lives, visiting his room, reading his
books, quoting things that he's said to each other.

Ah, well.  I'm not going to go off on my Seymour-Messiah tangent again.
