Enya is Catholic.
From an interview:
She still finds inspiration in the church. "It's difficult when you've been brought up Catholic," Enya says, "to turn completely away from it. What I found in my 20s, was I got more involved with the spiritual side of it. I've been known to go to church when there's nobody else there. It's very therapeutic when it's quite empty. It's so hard in a moment of despair not to say a prayer. Instead of abandoning Catholicism, which is impossible to do, I kind of tried to turn it around and make it work for me. There is this calmness that is absolutely wonderful."
Last Christmas, she sang for the Pope. This Christmas Eve, she performed live on a British television show, and then flew to County Donegal in time to make midnight Mass with her family. She sings in her mother's choir. She's no star, there. She just sneaks in, takes her place, opens her mouth. "I just love being around them," Enya says of hometown family and friends. "Catching up, you know."
Not convinced? How about Track 4 from Memory of Trees in both Gaelic and Latin
Athair Ar Neamh [Father In Heaven]
domine oveniteo sacramentum eodeo
domine oveniteo sacramentum eodeo
Omnem crede diem tibi diluxisse supremum.
Omnem crede diem tibi diluxisse supremum.
Father in Heaven, God bless us
Father in Heaven, God bless me

Enya is a Pagan. Not sure exactly which religion but I think its Wicca.

I asked this same question like 7 months ago. The best answer, as I recall, was she is into the Celtic stuff.
