I would think Sherlock would like a quick snack.
As for 9, I see it as some people think he was evicted/homeless at the time, but - he doesn't as "at risk" to me - I think Lestrade and Mycroft are keeping an eye on him, but he's (at least relatively at the start of ASIP), clean - but that's just my headcanon.

As for 3, Sherlock and Mycroft were raised Reform, likely there was more ceremony when both boys were younger. Ceremonies and attendance weren't so large of a thing after their father left, and their mother's illness (she was a bit of the driving force behind everything) disintegrated it completely. I think their parents were rather open-minded about beliefs, though Sherlock sort of swore off everything around his mother's death/university.
I put them as Reform mostly because of Sherlock's random knowledge of the Golem, and I couldn't see his mother being Conservative or the other sects.

Sherlock cannot prove by science that there is or is not a divine being, but he knows there are occasional 'forces' at work that cannot be explained - hence being somewhat of a cynic/agnostic. It's probably not something he prefers to have conversations about, and part of the reason why he is not keen on the study of the universe - and it does not affect his Work.
