I disagree with the part about religion and family. Don't give them ammo to discriminate against you.

  That is a judgment call. My opinion is that if they are going to react badly in the interview, it will be an ongoing problem for you down the road. But that is not universally true. For instance women of reproductive age who bring up children can cause worry that they might get pregnant. If it happens, the employer is legally obligated to accommodate, but it can be a big issue during hiring. That said, surely you can find something which you would like to be accommodated for in the workplace? The interviewer just gave you an opportunity for implicit agreement on how you need to be treated in the workplace. Don't waste the opening.

  Bring up the family if you're a guy; businesses love family guys, they think it makes them more likely to stick around, etc. But if you're a woman... DON'T DO IT. It's the most sure way to not get hired (well, besides the obvious.)
