Joel is Christian. He doesn't talk about it much but it's clear his beliefs are very deeply held and very important to him. He mentions the Lord in one of the last and most emotionally powerful lines of the game.
The Seraphites are fictitious but are probably standins for Muslims. Their religion results in a very strong, tight-knit, cohesive community but also a brutally inflexible society where dissent is met with violence.

It has to be amongst the most nuanced and interesting treatment of religion in any game, actually.
