The idea of a scifi hero being more religious than average is interesting, but I might be reading too much into it.

Pretty sure those are normal phrases for generally religious Japanese people to say, since Buddhism and Christianity are both popular there compared to somewhere like the US where Christianity is the most common. For other Tokusatsu characters, we have Ryugi/Gozyu Tyranno, Takeru/Ghost, Nago/IXA and Tendo/Kabuto.
