John has a strong dislike of birds and a rather dull imagination. When it comes to how he feels about religion, in-game quotes suggest that he is likely a Christian who is not overtly religious.  He is also a fairly serious individual with very little patience for the eccentricities of both life and the various people he meets. However, he is not above employing sarcasm in conversation, particularly those he sees as exhibiting hypocrisy. He greatly respects women, though he is apathetic.
