J.K.R. likes to read, and I was sorting through the interviews, but 
is there any canon to suspect that she has actually even read the

recent interviews seem to lead to the fact that she would be agnostic 
or even athiest (something about not really believing in any kind of 
magic, and that she wishes she could)...>>>

The Sergeant Majorette says

If you have been researching the transcripts and have not come across 
any discussion of JKR's religion, then I may be spouting from the 
wrong bodily orifice, but I could swear I saw her tell a television 
interviewer that she was a practicing Christian, and that her faith 
was key to the resolution of the story. As for the not believing in 
magic, that is totally old-time religion, but I'm pretty sure what 
she said was that ..."if you mean magic like in the books, then, no." 
She said this to an audience of children who responded with a muted 
(but obviously horrified) gasp.

Of course, I was also completely sure she had said that Harry and 
Draco would never work together, but I was corrected on that one by 
an unimpeachable authority...
