One thing that we haven't established (to the best of my knowledge) is what religion the Colorfolk are. Are they all atheist? Or do they all have different religions?
Personally, I'd go with the latter. Perhaps Man In White could be Christian (because 'Jesus washes us white as snow') and Man In Black could be Satanic (he's dark)?
What do you guys think?

Well, historically speaking, the Colorfolk are mostly of various Christian denominations.
Most started out as one of various sects of the Protestant faiths, and there were some Jewish among them. As the years went on, and more faiths expanded to that region of the world, more Christian denominations, and even one Islamic Colorman (Man In Islamic Green)
There are also some Athiests among the Colormen, but as per Colorman Principle, everyone respects one another's beliefs and no one tries to force beliefs upon one another.
So while there are no specific ones yet (Apart from Islamic Green), faiths that are represented include-
Christianity- Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Various protestant faiths, such as Lutherans, Anglicans and Presbyterians
Jewish- Orthodox, Reform and Conservative
Islam- To date, it is not specified if Man In Islamic Green is Sunni or Shiite
Though they are now lost lineages, Man In Indian Red, Man In India Yellow and Man In India Green were known to follow Hinduism.
Other faiths may be present, but we don't know for sure yet.

There's definitely some atheism/agnosticism in there too (Man In Pink wooo), and probably a couple Buddhists to round out the major religions.
EDIT: TBH, Man In White doesn't really strike me as being all that religious. Man In Silver is probably Wiccan, because from what we know of him he's quite spiritual. Man In Blue and Gold I'm less sure about. Probably religious to semi-religious. Man In Black isn't Satanic, more likely agnostic in my eyes. As for the colorwomen, I guess Woman In Gold would be atheist while Woman In White is Christian (nor sure what demonination), Woman In Silver might be Jewish, and I have no clue for Woman In Blue. This is in no way automatic canon, just my thoughts.
DOUBLE EDIT: I just found out reading about Wicca that they believe in a Great Horned God. #ironiccoincidence

That is correct; though at this point we really don't have anyone specified to who follows what.
(Though I'll be honest, I always saw man in blue as a Catholic. Whilr he is not the "ultra-devout" type, he does follow Catholicism, and he does not interpret the bible literally, he interprets it metaphorically. Anything else I should specify/describe while we are on this topic?)
This is something we can work on in the future; and it does give us more material for the wiki (we've been neglecting it a long time)

As for the wiki, why do you think I added in the Polls...?
