This is just a massive strawman. The question your crafted makes a strong negative implication about the respondent.
Asking what's your name, your pronouns, etc have weak implications. Most people have names and prefer certain pronouns. That's the beginning and the end of the implication. Catholics do have pronouns, they just believe in the standard he/him, she/her and that those pronouns correlate with genital from birth.
Some people have gender neutral names and, like sarcasm, gender identity doesn't convey well in text based communications- in this suit, Slack.
Confirming up front rather than in request-response, error-correction type exchanges saves some time and some feelings. It doesn't infringe on religious freedom, as it's simply asking for clarification so others may respect your beliefs. At the same time, you can believe one thing, and respect the beliefs of others and use their name/pronouns when speaking to/of them.

We have hires in other countries, and other cultures, and without reference, I find myself referring to them as they/them... same with some names that could be either Male or Female (Jack springs to mind).
