My issue is the legality of what they are asking at the very beginning of the application process. It feels like a screening process. It feels like they are saying "Atheists need not apply". I think if I tried to fake it, it would be clear in a later process, that I am not like them. Although I may excel at my job. I feel like I would be asked personal questions by co workers and it could be a hostile work environment. If I could even get hired, which I doubt.
For what is legal, it is best to talk with a lawyer. A good lawyer will make a distinction between what is legal, and what people can get away with doing. Even if what they are doing is illegal, before they are stopped, someone must stop them. People often seem to have some strange idea that everything is somehow vetted before it is done, but that is very far from what actually happens.
