anundineModern!Obi-wan would and should be deeply and aggressively religious. Specifically I'd argue Catholic, but I could be argued around to some flavor of Orthodox.
Point a: strong parallels between the Order and the Catholic church, particularly re: emphasis on good works, doctrinal emphasis on obedience (particularly later interpretations), historical role as a diplomats and philosophers, a core philosophy that is full of a lot of love and understanding but can and does get twisted around into something really ugly, guilt as a widespread phenomena.
Point b: Obi-wan as a person is defined by his faith. His go-to source of comfort and wisdom and decision-making is a great all-knowing mystical power that pervades the universe. He communes with this unknowable being on a regular basis. At the end of his life he becomes a hermit and contemplates the universe. He is driven by his guilt.
Point c: I feel, in my soul, that given the chance to sob over a rosary Obi-wan would.
