Considering in roleplays, you're taking the role of a character who might be anything from a cannibalistic orc to a womanizing space jock, I don't see how having a religious character, be they of real world or fictional faiths, would be controversial, especially in a setting where gods are tangible.

This. My characters' views on religion change depending on the roleplay and who they are, as appropriate for the context, and are entirely removed from my own.
