No, J.K. Rowling is a member of the Church of Scotland. However, she stated on an episode of the Today Show that her books, particularly her seventh, did come into conflict with her beliefs and caused her some consternation.
As I recall, she was concerned with openly discussing her faith because it would have made the plot more obvious (book seven can be seen as a Christian allegory) not because the book was in "conflict" with her beliefs - she has always made it clear that the books are fantasy and she doesn't believe in magic - she doesn't believe the books are true.

How did the catskill mountains form?
e Catskill Mountains or the Catskills are a large area in the southeastern portion of the U.S. state of New York. They are located approximately 100 miles north-northwest of New York City and forty miles southwest ofAlbany, starting just west of the Hudson River. The Catskills occupy much or all of five counties (Delaware,Greene, Schoharie, Sullivan, and Ulster). As a cultural and geographic region, the Catskills are generally defined as those areas close to or within the borders of the Catskill Park, a 700,000-acre (2,800 km2) forest preserveprotected from many forms of development under New York state law.
Geologically, the Catskills are a mature dissected plateau, a once-flat region subsequently uplifted and eroded into sharp relief by watercourses. The Catskills form the northeastern end of, and highest-elevation portion of, theAllegheny Plateau (also known as the Appalachian Plateau).[1][2]Although the Catskills are sometimes compared with the Adirondack Mountainsfurther north, the two mountain ranges are not geologically related, as the Adirondacks are a continuation of the Canadian Shield. Similarly, the Shawangunk Ridge, which forms the southeastern edge of the Catskills, is part of the geologically distinct Ridge-and-Valleyprovince, and is a continuation of the same ridge known as Kittatinny Mountain in New Jersey and Blue Mountain in Pennsylvania.
Climatically, the Catskills lie within the Allegheny Highlands forests ecoregion.
The Catskills are well known in American culture, both as the setting for many 19th-century Hudson River Schoolpaintings and as the favored destination for urban vacationers from New York City in the mid-20th century. The region's many large resorts gave countless young stand-up comedians an opportunity to hone their craft. In addition, the Catskills have long been a haven for artists, musicians, and writers, especially in and around the towns of Woodstock and Phoenicia, New York.

What are some Harry Potter user name ideas that only people who have read the books would recognize?
Answer: Muggle.
Answer: The basic idea is to use any of the lesser-known characters, spells, etc. For example, even somebody who has only had superficial contact with Harry Potter will know who "Snape" is, whereas his first name, "Severus", is not so well-known. Similarly, the "Unforgivable Curses", as well as "Accio", are rather well-known, but in the books (or in any reference material - try the Wikipedia for example) you will find lots of lesser-known spells. You could also use some of the ficticious creatures from Harry Potter, place names, etc.
