I know lots of Christians that use Jesus or Mary as a patron. And I know they use the patron saints as such. As long as you are a good person, it should matter what you believe. Do I use patrons? My fraternity doesn't, but for myself, yes. I have lots of them. Gods/Goddesses, King Arthur, Charelemange, That druid guy whose name I can't think of. Basically, anyone from mythology or folklore or religion that is an examplar of the ideals i strive for (and the ideals my fraternity strives for) as patrons. My fraternity doesn't use them because that is like pushing beliefs on a member, and we are open to all faiths, creeds, etc.
