I hate to throw a spanner in again, but Eton most definitely is a 
Christian school.  Most British Public schools are.  I went to one 
myself, which is why I am pretty certain that Hogwats is not one.  
There was chapel twice a day (although only the morning one was 
compulsory) and a full blown sevice such as a Sung Eucharist on 
Sundays.

There were plenty of girls there from other religions, however the 
school did stipulate that if you wanted to attend that school then you 
had to attend chapel.

As I have said before my view is that if Hogwarts was a Christian 
school then we would have had to have had some mention of chapel 
somewhere.  I apologise to the Elves but sometimes an answer to a 
question is based on personal experience which by its very nature is 
non-canon
