New Girl's portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes is incidental. While there are minor instances, such as Winston's 'gay' cat and a character's later reveal as gay, these elements are not central to the narrative. The show avoids negative stereotypes but also lacks significant affirming depictions, resulting in a neutral overall impact.

Christianity is generally portrayed as a positive cultural and moral influence, particularly through holiday celebrations and characters' underlying values of kindness and community. The show does not critique the faith itself but rather uses it as a backdrop for character development and positive themes.

Judaism is depicted with warmth and humor, primarily through Schmidt's character and his family. It is shown as a significant cultural heritage that fosters strong family bonds and traditions, without being portrayed as oppressive or hypocritical. The humor often arises from character interactions within a Jewish context, not from the faith itself.
