In Northern Ireland they ask for one's religion in the context of a job application. Over there it's the Catholics that have traditionally been the targets of discrimination and the Protestants are the ruling caste. That's how the HR guy explained it.

"Jew" isn't a race on the census right now, even though antisemitism was a thing in the US up until WW II.
