You sound like a bigot.

Anecdotal only, but I'm 49 years old, have been working since I was 15, and have only seen one person in my life bring their religious "behavior" into the workplace. She tried to get donations for one of those pregnancy centers that gives out incorrect medical information about abortions. I've seen many, many employees who are active members of their churches or other houses of worship, but none (other than that one person) who blur the line. I wouldn't hold someone's religious affiliations against them. That is true prejudice.

For example, if you did some accounting for your church or organized a database or produced published materials, that might merit inclusion on a resume/LinkedIn.
If you volunteered at a bake sale fundraiser, then, no, that doesn't merit inclusion.
Only include volunteer work if it shows applicable skills to the jobs you are trying to reach and if you can list an accomplishment, were in a leadership position with a decent level of responsibility, or had a longstanding position of importance (e.g., managed the accounts for 5 years).
