I can't say I myself see much problem with people saying on their userpages what their religious beliefs are. Some (like "I'm a Satanist") will offend people, but then so do a lot of things ("I'm gay", for one), and I'm not sure proscribing them all helps the project of writing an encyclopedia more than it harms it.
I should add, by way of making clear I'm actually on the other side of the "userbox wars", that I *do* think deleting all userboxes except possibly the babel ones might help the project of writing an encyclopedia more than it harms it. Not because some are "disreputable", but because people can just as well write things on their userpages without templates, and we can be free of this whole distracting mess.
