The religions by language breakdown is not terribly revealing, but the opposite, languages by religion, is very interesting.
Atheist like Python, C, C++ and Java. A very practical toolkit. Most of the major large religions, Christian, Muslim and Hindu also seem to favour widely used languages. Buddhist ranks Lisp very highly. Jewish coders like web languages like PHP, Perl and Javascript. Pagan's must all be running Apache servers, because Perl, PHP and Python dominate. Unitarians, true to there reputation, go for an eclectic mix that includes oddities like Groovy, D and LOGO. I think people's deepest held beliefs about how the world works does seem to lead them towards certain languages more than others.
