Stephen Fry has any specific religious tendencies?

that was the first legit question in forever... applause to you.
From an interview in OutUK:
"What you do with your penis or your bottom or anything else is so supremely irrelevant in a moral sense. It's what we do with our personalities and other people that matters."
Fry struggled to keep his homosexuality secret during his teenage years at public school, and practised a celibate lifestyle for 16 years.
He met Cohen following his highly publicised nervous breakdown in 1995, which was attributed at the time to bad reviews of Fry's performance in the play Cell Mates. Fry was also suffering from serious clinical depression at the time as a result of his as-yet undiagnosed cyclothymia, a form of bipolar disorder
Don't believe so...

"I am a lover of truth, a worshipper of freedom, a celebrant at the altar of language and purity and tolerance. That is my religion, and every day I am sorely, grossly, heinously and deeply offended, wounded, mortified and injured by a thousand different blasphemies against it. When the fundamental canons of truth, honesty, compassion and decency are hourly assaulted by fatuous bishops, pompous, illiberal and ignorant priests, politicians and prelates, sanctimonious censors, self-appointed moralists and busy-bodies, what recourse of ancient laws have I? None whatever. Nor would I ask for any. For unlike these blistering imbeciles my belief in my religion is strong and I know that lies will always fail and indecency and intolerance will always perish."
Hmm, he sounds like an atheist to me.
