religious persuasion

One's chosen belief

Religious persuasion is a person's religion or faith tradition.

The phrase appears in formal or legal contexts where neutrality matters: The law prohibits discrimination based on religious persuasion.

It can sound slightly evasive or diplomatic, useful when the specific religion is irrelevant or when the speaker wants to avoid naming it directly.
