Potioncat:
I looked. Honest I did.  I swear, they've moved it.  Somewhere there 
is a quote from JKR that acknowledges she believes in God (I can 
find that) that her church has been an important part of her life, 
(I can find that too) but she goes on to say that if she told us 
exactly what she believes, it would give the rest of the HP story 
away. (I can't find that part.)

Potioncat who remembers Carol once lamenting that her signing off 
lines generated more replies than the main point of her post.(But in 
this case, I think it's pretty close.)  ;-)
