Occasionally to subvert expectations, some vampires are featured as genuinely religious in spite of their nature. Sometimes, this is hand waved by these vampires not being affected by crosses, holy water and the usual suspects which explains why they can carry out their pious duties. Other times they're not immune to the typical vampire weaknesses, and simply endure the pain because their faith requires it. Christianity is the most common example because of its prevalence in fiction, but any traditional religion can qualify. On the other hand, demonic faiths do not count for this trope, since it's generally assumed that vampires will be inclined towards evil anyways.
