My gut feeling: Being Christian is a very weak signal. Telling people that you're Christian (in a context where it's not important to do so) strongly signals a desire for social prominence, which is itself usually a bad sign.
I expect this holds for other religions too, I just don't have much experience there.

This happens just about everywhere, including right here on HN.
