I liked the Dresden Files approach to this, it is having faith in something that repels vampires, not the things people have faith in. So the main character repels vampires with a pentagram necklace and his faith in magic.

I Am Legend had the reverse, where it was entirely psychological on the vampire's part. Neville tests crosses and crucifixes on some vamps and discovers they don't repel his Jewish neighbor, but a Star of David does.

I remember before the Anita Blake series fell off the rails, the star of David not working on vampires because it was a racial symbol, not a religious one.
