Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a battleground for social, moral, or
religious issues.  Userbox templates and user templates group
Wikipedians into competing factions.  This infrastructure has been used
in the past to abuse our decision-making policies by vote-stacking.

If you really feel it is necessary to proclaim your religion on your
userpage, you can do it, but you don't need a template to do so.
