Any chance of this?

Think it might be a cool idea.

A list of possible religious inclinations to tick would likely be huge and still miss some out. My own would be: Atheist / Zen Buddhist / Advaita Vedantist. The combinations and sub divisions would be endless. So to work this would need to be a free text field where people can type in whatever they liked - but then people might just as well type this into their interests field anyway.

There is also the issue that such a change / addition would require the involvement of Alex, so the odds of it happening are somewhere between slim and non-existent.

Yeah good idea I guess.

Personally I am against listing religion. I don't see what it would accomplish at all other than discourage people from being friendly towards denominations or other religions they are not fans of.
