Marie Curie's family religion was Roman Catholic, but she became an anticlerical atheist on the death of her mother and older sister.
She abandoned the Church before she was 20. Marriage with Pierre Curie was a civil ceremony and wrote: "Pierre belonged to no religion and I did not practice any."
Her work was influenced by her "freethinker" nature, which probably means that she held no godly assumption of anything. She used rational thinking as most scientists do when on a scientific exploit. Most scientists end up as "freethinkers" because they believe in reason rather than anything else. (Read the last link on this)

Yes her father taught physics and math which she was later to pursue and win noble prizes in. When she was young she experienced the death of both sister and mother which led her to give up on Roman Catholicism and to embrace agnostic instead. She suffered from melancholy and perhaps had something to do with her poor upbringing in addition to the deaths. Marie Curie, her husband Pierre Curie and others received a noble prize in physics for discovering radioactivity. Because she was a woman she was discouraged from studying science. Perhaps it was her husband (whom she worked with) who enabled her to study despite the discrimination. Surely her husband influenced her as they worked together.

I think she may have been an Atheist. If this was the case then I'm assuming that she would have believed that science was behind the creation of the universe, not a higher power.
p.s. This is to answer someone else's question--she was Polish

The Polish woman was raised Catholic, but abandoned the church before age 20. Her husband did not practice any religion.

I only know her husband and her were a team. My science teacher thought she got to much of the credit for the work they did together.
And you know how she died, right?
I feel sorry for her. Her science killed her. Waste of a fine mind.
Was she French or American? Now I am asking you questions....
