My own religion (a neo-pagan religion).
The next religion that comes to mind is Catholic. Although I've never actually seen a Catholic light candles, in many movies I've seen them enter an empty church, go to the front and light a small candle. Is this just Hollywood fiction or do Catholics really do this regularly?

It is true that the Catholic Church—both Roman and Orthodox—has used candles for 2000 years now. Candlelight was very deeply embedded in the culture long before electric lights. But there is spiritual meaning to the use of candles also. The most striking for Catholics is the candle associated with the Easter Vigil, and with our Baptism. Light is a powerful symbol of Christ's victory over death. The paschal candle, lit at the Easter Vigil and placed prominently, reminds us of that. Each year at the Easter Vigil, the faithful are given candles lit from the paschal candle, symbol of the risen Christ, as they renew their baptismal promises. At Baptism, the newly baptized are given candles, lit from the paschal candle, and the exhortation to keep the light of faith burning bright in their hearts.
Besides symbolizing the light of faith, candles speak to Catholics of self-sacrifice. The flame that consumes the candle is like the flame of the Spirit encouraging a self-consuming love for others. A votive candle left burning in Church is a symbol of prayer saying that I would like to be there praying but must be elsewhere. Burning beside or before the representation of a saint, the candle says: "Please join your light of faith with mine in prayer for this intention."
God Bless You
