Traditionally Lutheran Protestant but may have had a more personal Catholic persuasion.

Anna was born and died a Catholic and Cleves was a Catholic state although it had ties with protestant countries through marriage and politics (Saler 1995 p.19). The Duke of Cleves, like Henry, looked for reform in the Catholic Church but did not accept the extreme view of Lutheranism. As Borman (2010 : p 66) explains, the duchy was nominally part of the Empire but was virtually independent from Charles V's authority and was renowned for its reformist tendencies. In essence, it was exactly in line with England and Cromwell pursued the alliance as a way of consolidating the English Reformation.

Prior to her marriage to Henry VIII and upon arrival in England, Anne, who had previously been Roman Catholic, adopted the Anglican faith. Following the death of Henry and the coronation of his daughter, Queen Mary, she once again converted back to Roman Catholicism.
