OK, now I have to post here.  Other than a Muslim woman wearing a hijab or a Jewish man 
wearing yarmulke, how would you decide that someone "looks" like they might belong to a 
religion other than Christian?  You are coming very close to suggesting that any immigrant or 
person of color is more likely to be non-Christian.
