I'm going to argue that he probably was because:
Orwell argued against things that he strongly dissagreed with. With Christianity being such a big part of American culture at the time, if he wasn't I imagine that he would have written somthing about how Christianity sucked. Am I making sense? I just reread my post twice and I can't tell if I am or not. I need some coffee.

In my opinion he wasn't, as in his book animal farm tehres a raven who knows nothing but "sugar candy mountain" , which I take it as a symbol of heaven.
If he was a believer he would have believed it in a much different way than most people.
My ideal human being is someone who lives amoungst the "assimilation" of socity without being contamited by it, posessing a style of his/her own."

All religions come from cultures, It is only natural that I shoud take the religion of the region as my own.
I think he was just showing how the governments used religion to make people work. Like all the pigs say he's spreading lies, but then they give him beer everyday, encouraging him to stay.
