JKR belongs to the Church of Scotland, as silveroak said. But she 
*could* be a Wiccan or a Theosophist or a Spiritualist, all religions 
that were invented in UK. She *could* be a Scientologist or a Mormon, 
religions which proselytize in UK. She *could* be an atheist. It 
amuses me that you used Hinduism and Buddhism as unlikely examples, 
since both those religions are practised in UK as well as in USA. I 
don't know if Parvati Patil and Padma Patil practise Hinduism, but I 
suspect their parents raised them to, and I don't know if Cho Chang 
practises Buddhism, but her parents probably do (more exactly some 
mixture of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, because *I* think 
they're from Hong Kong).
