Just to echo the point already raised. I should have thought that 
Hogwarts was probably simply nominally C of E or C of Scotland but 
tolerant and making allowances for other religious beliefs. This 
would be the same as the majority of other educational establishments 
in the UK. A proportion of pupils would be Muggle born and Muggles 
and Wizards we assume have been intermarrying for generations 
therefore it is possible that they have the same religious beliefs as 
the community around them whatever that might be.

I rather feel that living in Ottery St Catchpole the Weasleys might 
just be non churchgoing C of E like most of the rest of rural UK. I 
can imagine them having their weddings and funerals in the village 
church and having to perform a memory charm on the Vicar afterwards!

I can only imagine that it isn't mentioned in canon because JKR 
herself is only averagely religious and therefore it just hasn't come 
up yet.
