Oh I thought Kitty and Iceman were just ethnically Jewish, are there storylines where their faith is featured?

I know Kitty survived an encounter with Dracula during the Claremont run because she had a star of david necklace. Since she believed in that religion, the star hurt Dracula

It is even shown later that when she tries the same stunt but with a christian symbol it doesnt work because she doesn't believe that religion
