I am not American, but I looked at the BC of a friend who was born in Wisconsin in 1951, and his BC has no note of religion of the parents. Said friend told me that in America, the religion of the Bearer is never mentioned in any government issued documents, as religion is considered to be a private affair, and people do convert. Seems sensible to me, but I have read numerous posts on FR alluding to the religion stated on Obummer’s BC, and it does, as you say, make the questioners look silly and their argument weak.

Can anybody here edify me as to whether religion is, indeed, listed on any American BCs?

Not the baby's religion, nor the parent's religion, is listed on any American BCs.

See post #59. As several others have said, religion is not on the BC form and I believe it is for the reasons you stated: in America, this is considered a private matter. Having religion a matter of public record might facilitate religious discrimination, which would violate First Amendment etc.
