He has not made it clear in public what his religious beliefs really are. Going by song lyrics, it seems that in his younger years (think Infinite Dreams from Seventh Son of a Seventh Son), he has struggled with the concept, particularly with the prospect of an afterlife, hence the lyric:

"There's got to be just more to it

Than this

Or tell me why do we exist

I'd like to think that when I die

I'd get a chance another time"

But also this:

"You tell me "You're an unbeliever"

Spiritualist? Well me, I'm neither"

This was a while ago, and it's likely his views have changed. On 2006's "For The Greater Good of God" (from A Matter of Life and Death) he stated that he is neither for nor against religion, while 2010's "Mother of Mercy" (The Final Frontier) actively criticises religion:

"I don't hold with bad religion

Understand what's underneath it

Now I come to think of it

I just don't hold at all you know it

You say you are a holy man

But what is it you do

From where I stand is nothing

But a hollow man I see"

Overall I'd have to say that his religious beliefs are unknown, while he criticises religious organisations he believes to be "bad."
