I do wonder if they'll explain why Thor doesn't just whip up some rain, and say "This downpour has my blessings."
I mean hell, Jed did something like that in Moon Knight.
Because vampires aren't weak to rain? It'd be more likely to affect werewolves due to the clouds obscuring a full moon.

"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" - Optimus Prime
He did introduce himself to one of Thanos's Black Order when they fought in Infinity by Jonathan Hickman as, "King of the Dead . . . and soon to be your new lord."
Oh, yeah, it has to be "something the holder actually reveres and has faith in," which doesn't automatically have to be a Christian cross or rain blessed by the Christian God. When Logan tried it way back in Chris Claremont's Uncanny X-Men and the first encounter with Dracula there, Dracula laughed him off because he had no faith in the symbol he was trying to invoke. Not so much with Kitty Pryde and her Star of David necklace, though, which would go to your point.
The spider is always on the hunt.
That was a reference to a recent Moon Knight comic. Moon Knight has to fight an army of vampires inside a building, so he starts a fire that activates the fire sprinklers and blesses the water coming from it. That's what hurts the vampires, not mere water, but holy water, weaponized by Moon Knight.
Of course, Moon Knight can do that because he's a priest. I'm not sure if Thor can do it.
Marvel Comics has traditionally shown that the vampire's own religious beliefs determine what, if any, weakness he/she has to religious symbols. For Christians, it's the cross. I don't thing Asgardian holy water should have any effect on a Christian. It should only work against Agsgardian vampires.
No, the vampire's beliefs don't matter in Marvel. It's the faith of the symbol's wielder. A christian human can make a cross work against an atheist/muslem/jewish vampire. A jewish human can make a star of david work against an atheist/christian/muslem vampire. A muslem human can make the Koran work against an atheist/christian/jewish vampire. Etc. It's the faith of the human that the vampire is really vulnerable to.
