What religion is Rebel Wilson?

Rebel Wilson hasn’t publicly claimed any religion. However, the actress said she attended a Christian high school. She said, “I went to a Christian high school, so I went under my middle name. I don't think they would have accepted me in the school - 'This is Rebel'... so I have two middle names, Melanie Elizabeth, and I went under those. But Rebel's way cooler.”
