In a fantasy world filled with magic and miraculous beings, will the religious concepts of the locals be completely different from the human of Earth?

Let's talk about John Kennedy,Elvis Presley, Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, who can also use various miraculous powers (at least, their fans believe in so). can they be used as evidence?

if you can show me where a healed person and other witnesses have given testimony of their healing by Justin Beber and had a major (albeit biased) institution investigate the claim then sure

He isn't one.

I was commenting on the fact that he has a code and kills bad guys. Which is very paladin-like. I’ve seen many paladins in games have less excuses than a code to slaughter enemies

I’m pretty sure that criticizing and being condescending about people’s religious beliefs is going to get this thread shut down

So tell me, where does this topic criticizing and being condescending people's religious beliefs?
If you are neurotic, just leave. there is no discussion of religion of Earth here.

They certainly exist, just like those who were cured of illness by Padre Pio of Pietrelcin.

I quoted the post where you called people’s real life religious beliefs just “imagination” and compare them to Lady Gaga. But go ahead, I will happily leave.

That's your opinion, you'd better learn to respect others' opinions or leave.

Dexter is presented as Killer of bad guys following his strict code, and in the history of DnD what constitutes a bad guy hasnt always been so clear...

Dexter's code was created by his father to protect Dexter from incarceration and to protect normal people from Dexter. Dexter is generally compelled to kill others simply to satiate his bloodlust rather than a desire to protect others. We see a few examples where he targets a person to protect someone he cares about, such as the "photographer" stalking his step-daughter, but for the most part he just has a need to kill.

A lot of serial killers probably have better motivations...

You'd think so, but the truth is the majority of known serial killers aren't particularly bright or interesting.

this question is: in a fantasy world (such as Toril) filled with magic and miraculous beings, will the religious concepts of the locals be completely different from those of the human of Earth(which a magicless world)?

In such a world, everything is clear and knowable.

False assumption.
An note on god vs God; many people I know reject capitalization for any but their own god; standard English is God as proper noun, god as common. I'm using the lowercase on purpose.

See, the thing is, with D&D classes...
Only the casters can be certain. A cleric, druid, or paladin is actually in contact with their god. No one else can be certain said cleric is channeling divine magic; most clerical spells before 3E had access to others. Bards have healing magic in 5E... and multiclassing is a thing.

At the end of the day, the afterlife will remain hearsay to at least 99% of people. Sure, everyone knows someone in it, but almost no one can reach them. Those few will want money to make communication... And, depending upon the ruleset in use, there may not be anyone capable outside the biggest cities. 5E isn't as clear on that score, but 3.X has this nifty system of determining highest level of a given class... and resurrection winds up at being available only in really big cities, or by party member casters.

Likewise, the workings of magic are, in a very real way to the inhabitants of Toril, a technology which only works for a few percent of the people... but a technology none the less. Formula X gets effect Y, incredibly reliably. (Games with casting checks aren't as technology-like.) Continual Light or Continual Flame spells are an inexpensive spell, and cities should have enough of them that night is not a threat.
