There is excessive effort made these days towards avoiding to identify people with their religion. For instance, in Canada, when you apply for a job, you do not mention your religion anywhere in your resume. And the employer cannot ask you what your religion is. It is forbidden by the laws of Canada. It helps, to some extent, the likely elimination of candidates on the basis of religion at short-listing stage. I say to some extent because the name does reveal a lot about what we are trying to hide. But then people have become smarter. They change their name to Francis, Albert and so on. But then how long can you keep hiding what is expected to be kept under the lid? What happens when the candidate faces the interviewer in person? Do you think that a seasoned interviewer will still be fooled by names like Sean, Pauline, etc? However, it does serve one purpose. They can advertise that they are beyond petty mentalities drawn by religious leanings or they can boast that everyone is equal to them disregard birth, religion, nationality, etc. This has become a fad today in the Western world which loves to portray itself with a clean face, a beautiful face, an acceptable face, a face of equality and care.
