Oh, ya did it again, out comes my Geek. It doesn't matter what faith the vampire is, it matters what faith the person fighting it is. While Challah might not be particularly effective, if you grabbed a leg of the blessed lamb from a Passover dinner, you should be able to rather effectively beat the vampire to death with it, between the blessing and the garlic, as long as *you* believe it will work.
Likewise, an ardent, truly faithful Chinese Communist would find a copy of Mao's Little Red Book just as effective as a blessed cross to a Catholic. And Pagans... well, since they tend to be nature worshippers, and the whole reason vampires are evil is that they are unnatural, Pagans should be able to kick blood-sucker ass with some *high-test* authority. One mid-level Druid with a call lightning spell could wipe out a whole NEST!
Pretty much, it boils down to my favorite line from a vampire movie EVER... "You have to have FAITH for that to work on me, Mr. Vincent".
