I was just noticing the religiousity of Kara when I watched last week's Flesh and Bone. In addition to being the most totemicaly inclined (the folded picture, the ring, the idols) character, she's seen praying twice.
I don't recall watching any of the other characters praying, with the exception of Baltar and then only when he's under coersion.
Even though you've got a society where priests oversee the swearing in of the presidents, and where they speak about religion a lot, you don't see other characters practicing religion in their private lives. The fact that they've chosen her, and certain spoiley stuff that I'm trying to half forget so I can see stuff fresher when it airs, leads me to agree that Kara as religious figure, or as person deeply influenced by religion are sure things as the Cylons develop.
And seriously, who talks about religion more than Cylons? They're worse than Jehovas Witnesses. But I have nothing but high hopes for the explorations of Cylon religion we've been promised for season 2. They've managed to make Politics interesting, and that's a hard thing to do w/ me. Cause I'm usually all about the porn potential.

Lucky for me, they have both. ;)
