We don't need to know anyone's religion if we know what their ears and noses probably look like, what the reflectivity of their skin is in various colors, and their weight and volume compared to their apparent skeletal proportions.

We'd get down to that 5% instantly with FEW exceptions ~ and even the American from California who "went over" is from a Jewish family so he'd probably fit that physical profile himself.
