Not only it is illegal[1] to discriminate based on religion when hiring people, it is also unproductive because you're stopping yourself from hiring people to do a job based on their beliefs not their skills.
Your username is "sciencelover". I assume therefore that you are opposing Christianity to science.
Let me help you reconsider this position by suggesting you to look at this article listing Christians in science and technology (You might be surprised to see some significative amount of famous scientists like Lavoisier, Pasteur, Newton, James Clerk Maxwell and many many others):

- hairofadog 6y agoAgreeing with this comment 100%. For the record, I’m an atheist. You can cause your company into big trouble for discriminating based on religion, and like julienreska says it’s also counterproductive; you’re robbing yourself of potentially talented, good people.

I would recommend the books "God and the Astronomer" and "I don't have enough faith to be an Atheist". Both touch on this combining of science and faith, the first book more so than the latter.

FIDES ET RATIO (Faith and reason) [..] Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth—in a word, to know himself—so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves [..]
