So, I was quite happy to see CBR do a feature on religion in comics. The article isn't exactly a master's thesis, but it is interesting and informative and can act as a good primer to where the two entities of religion and comic art have intersected lately. Furthermore it offers a link to an academic conference on the subject that was recently held at Boston University.
EN/SANE World is James Bucky Carter's enclave of English Education (EN) resources as well as a haven for those looking for information on Sequential Art Narratives in Education (SANE).
A Public Service Announcement! ;)

Comic Book Resources Discusses Religion and Comics
Sequential art narrative and religion have a long, long history working together to educate the "masses," if you'll pardon the pun. Don't believe me? Do some research on stained glass windows. And comic books have been helping spread the message of Christianity and other religions since at least the 1940s.
