   I don't know about Clarke, but James Blish was a believing Catholic. It   
   comes thrugh in his fascinating science fiction novel "A Case of   
   Conscience", about a Jesuit scientist who is a member of a space expedition   
   which discovers a planet with sentient beings who are completely moral but   
   don't have any religious belief at all. I'll not relate the rest of the   
   story, but it is fascinating. Anthony Boucher, who wrote some science   
   fiction though he was mostly known as an editor, was also a believing   
   Cathholic.
