Howard is obviously Jewish, Rahj is obviously Hindu, Sheldon is obviously Atheist, but does the show ever address what Penny and Leonard are?

I don't think they have any religion.

Penny said in one episode (I don't recall its name) casually that she's New-Age, mostly given as a throw-away line.

I can't remember anything specific. But guessing by their backgrounds, parents, upbringing, and location of upbringing, I'd guess Leonard was raised with no religion and is probably atheist, and Penny was probably raised with some kind of Christianity. I'd also guess Amy was raised religious but now atheist, and Bernadette probably some kind of Christianity, but not heavily since it was never mentioned or made an issue of when she married Howard.

Bernadette mentions being a Catholic girl from a Catholic family more than once.

The whole episode where Howard's mother was in the hospital was based around him thinking Bernadette was Catholic caused it.
