A recent survey suggests that residents of Milford are more religious than are those in the average Michigan or American locality.

Protestants were divided among various denominations, the most common being the Methodists, Lutherans, and Baptists, followed by the Presbyterians, Pentecostals, Episcopalians, and Mormons, although a significant number cited an affiliation with a Protestant or Anabaptist denomination that wasn't part of this survey, or with various non-denominational churches.
Three percent of respondents in Milford identified with Judaism, just under one percent with Islam, and one-half of a percent with Eastern religions.
