He belonged to the Church of England, which is certainly a Christian church.

What were William Shakespeare's religious views?

There is no indication that Shakespeare was anything more than conventionally religious. He did get his children baptised, get married and attend Sunday services as was required by law and was duly buried in the church at Stratford. If he had Catholic sympathies (as some of the members of his family apparently did) he was careful to keep them well hidden.

Why did shakespeare leave out the wedding in romeo and Juliet?

Although people often get married in Shakespeare's plays, the weddings are rarely depicted onstage, and when they are (as in As You Like It), they are not a Christian ceremony. The same applies to actual church services or funerals. In essence, it was felt that depicting sacraments onstage was sacrilegious.

Is it possible that it was Shakespeare that wrote the Bible?

No, all of the Bible, even the Christian parts, were written over a thousand years before Shakespeare was born. If you are thinking that Shakespeare contributed to the King James Translation of the Bible which came out in Shakespeare's lifetime, again the answer is no. We know the names of the scholars who worked on the project and Shakespeare was not one of them. Nor is it likely that a high school graduate (maybe, he may not have even finished) with "small Latin and less Greek" would have been invited to participate in the translation of ancient texts from Hebrew, Greek and Latin sources. It is as laughable as suggesting that Elvis Presley wrote the Merriam-Webster dictionary.
