What was Napoleon Bonaparte's religion?

Answer 1

napoleon's religon was what ever suited him at the time, when he was in Egypt he called himself a Muslim, when he was in France a catholic, when he was in India Islam

however, at the end of his life, when he was exiled on st. Helena, a change in his attitude towards religion seems to have occured:

"Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne and I myself have founded great empires; but upon what did these creations of our genius depend? Upon force. Jesus alone founded His empire upon love, and to this very day millions will die for Him."
