There are references in the chronicles of Holmes 'going down to chapel' and saying that flowers in bloom were the best evidence for Providence. Given that his family was originally French and his use of the word 'chapel' as opposed to 'church', Holmes was probably a Catholic.

I meant the one in the Sherlock series, though I doubt a man like Holmes would have been religious in a different era or written by a different author. I've read all of those books I don't know how many times. He made reference to god, or at least "creation" as well. I realize I should have been more clear. Anyway, the Sherlock in Sherlock is an even better Sherlock than Doyle's Sherlock if only because he's more modern.
That's fair, although I take umbrage at a 'better' Sherlock.
