Rei attends a catholic school, right? My question is why does she attend a catholic school when she obviously has no part in the christian religion? Any ideas?

She's a shinto priest. You'd be surprised how well shintoism goes with other religions.
Besides that, I'm thinking her grandfather wanted her on a girls-only school, something that's still regarded as 'correct' in Japan afaik. T*A was probably the only girls-only school in the neighborhood.

Plus in Japan most people are duely religious. |

Fanon holds that Rei's father placed her in the school (he does look kind of western with the blond hair and all, so many assume he's a Christian.) Canon never quite explained this, to my knowledge ^_^;

Good point... a lot of people don't attend Catholic schools for religious reasons. In some areas they are the best education you can get.
(Or maybe they go to play volleyball, because Catholic schools are allowed to start playing in third grade, as opposed to the public school kids who have to wait until seventh grade to play on a formal team... which needless to say gives the Catholic kids a huge advantage, and makes it seem kind of unfair that they're in the same league with the rest of us... *steps off soapbox* Er, but I don't think Japan puts that much stock in school sports ^^; )
