I haven't even read the rest of the thread (at the bottom of the 1st page right now). Is this Vinny guy a troll? Seriously?
Leave your fucking religion at home when you're at school or work - you don't need to be made "comfortable" by your coworkers by knowing they're religious or not. I'm a damn atheist and my boss is a bible-thumping Christian. We don't bother each other none and at all. What these people are afraid of is that if they press their religion forward, someone is going to give them the deserved look of "you're an idiot."
Said bible-thumping boss does not look askance at me having pre-marital sex. He jokes with me about it - that's because he's aware that we have different opinions and none of those have anything to do with how I get my job done, unless I'm walking funny the next morning in which case he has more opportunities to tease me.
If you ask me, all religiously based holidays should be taken on vacation time, not mandated by the government, and religious shit should be kept under the radar in secular settings. Then you won't have to worry about who you work with. It might work in your favor: I won't look at you like a potential terrorist, and you'll have your mind blown by realizing that my lack of faith frees me to be a much more interesting person than where I go to church.
