The Professor is Catholic (or Space Catholic, it is unclear if they are the same or different), as implied in several episodes, though he is also probably a part time Satanist.

Futurama enjoys mocking religion thoroughly.
-
It doesn't do so in an offensive way, like Family Guy sometimes does.

Picture isn't showing up, but I'm guessing it's those Egyption guys on the Pharoah episode, in which case I will say that line was probably the most offensive thing to appear in Futurama, and even then, it wasn't that offensive.
-
IIRC that was never implied, unless you count him shouting "oh, Zombie Jesus!" or shouting at Zeus, God, and Satan to help him.
-
He said to the crew once, in a newer episode, "Or for you non-Catholics[...]" In all likelihood, the Professor is an atheist Catholic Satanist.

Oh yeah, there was also that interdimensional boxes episode where he said that after carefully studying the scriptures, they've determined that no one is evil.
