Harriet Tubman was a strong believer yes.

I don't really know because this is a column from answers.com:

In 1849, Tubman became ill again, and her value as a slave was diminished as a result. Edward Brodess tried to sell her, but could not find a buyer.Angry at his action and the unjust hold he kept on her relatives, Tubman began to pray for her owner, asking God to make him change his ways."I prayed all night long for my master," she said later, "till the first of March; and all the time he was bringing people to look at me, and trying to sell me." When it appeared as though a sale was being concluded, she switched tactics. "I changed my prayer," she said. "First of March I began to pray, 'Oh Lord, if you ain't never going to change that man's heart, kill him, Lord, and take him out of the way."A week later, Brodess died, and Tubman expressed regret for her earlier sentiments.Brodess's death increased the likelihood that Tubman would be sold and the family would be broken apart, as that frequently happened in the settlement of an estate. His widow, Eliza, began working to sell the family's slaves. Tubman refused to wait for the Brodess family to decide her fate, despite her husband's efforts to dissuade her."[T]here was one of two things I had a right to," she explained later, "liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other."

By all accounts, Harriet Tubman was a deeply religious woman with an unshakable faith in God. Born into slavery in Maryland circa 1820, she escaped in 1849 and became a "conductor" on the underground railroad, making 19 trips back into the south to safely guide runaway slaves (including her own parents) to freedom in the north. She must have been blessed with phenomenal gifts as an actress because never in all her trips south did any proponent of slavery ever detect that she was an operative for the underground railroad. During the Civil War, she was a spy for the Union and on one occasion even helped to guide an army of 300 black soldiers in their victory of Confederate forces. After emancipation, she worked unceasingly to improve the conditions of former slaves and even took many into her home and tried to find ways to support them. Although spiritually she seemed to have had much in common with some of her Quaker friends, Harriet Tubman was a Methodist Episcopalian and belonged to the Thompson Memorial A.M.E. Church of Zion in Auburn, New York, during her latter years. Since her birth was never recorded, her exact life span will never be known but she is believed to have been nearly 100 years old at the time of her death in 1913. Two of the three friends who were with her at the time of her death were clergymen. After leading her friends in a religious service while she was on her deathbed, Harriet Tubman said "give my love to all the churches." A little later, quoting Matthew, she said, "I go to prepare a place for you" and then she died. For more information about this great lady, see www.harriettubman.com.

Historians never state her religion. It doesn't make any difference in her actions and deeds. Many slaves were not allowed to practice any religion by their owners, so it is possible she didn't have one.
