Another HOTTT! little atheist actress? You bet ...
”I remember a weird audition when I was 10. I gave this great reading, but the woman stopped me and said, ‘Scarlett, do you accept Jesus as your savior?’
I was like, ‘I don’t know. My parents are atheists.’
She said, ‘Oh, really? So what does that make you?’ and I said, ‘Um, a 10-year-old?’” – actress Scarlett Johansson, quoted in the Plain Dealer, 24 March 2004

From an interview in Hollywood Life Feb, 2004, page 54:
Q: I've gotten a lot of mirth out of Oscar acceptance speeches, especially in the past few years. Are you with me on this?
A: They can be so goofy, like the ones where they say, "I'd like to thank our Lord Jesus up above!" I'm like, "For the love of God, keep your mouth shut. That's why the world is so fucked up, because God is focusing solely on your career." And how about being "blessed"? Like you're an angel from on high? ... I promise you that in my "blessed" future, I won't thank my personal savior. I haven't even been saved yet. But I'll let you know when I find Him. Or Her.

Katie Holmes may have fallen for it, but Tiny Tom Cruise's sci-fi seduction technique scared the bejeezus out of Scarlett Johansson, a source close to the actress says: Weeks before he began wooing his brainwashed bride-to-be, Cruise made repeated phone calls to the 19-year-old starlet, who was then set to co-star with him in Mission Impossible, imploring her to meet him at the Scientology Celebrity Center in L.A. But when the actress finally agreed, the supposedly professional get-together took an oddly spiritual turn.
"[Cruise] took me into this room, which was stifling hot, and was showing me all kinds of info about joining the church, Johansson told our source. The whole time he didn't even offer me a cookie!" Instead, he offered her dinner and a glimpse into the Twilight Zone.
After two hours of proselytizing, our source says Cruise opened a door to reveal a second room full of upper-level Scientologists who had been waiting to dine with the pair, at which point the cool-headed ingenue politely excused herself.
Soon after the meeting, Johansson dropped out of Mission Impossible III, reportedly due to scheduling conflicts...
