In the case of Saudi Arabia, westeners are expected to be good Christians, so we would put that as our religion, no matter what you believe in.
It's really not that simple.
I have seen Saudi visa applications submitted by US citizens that were accepted with the religion listed as a variety of made-up things or with some non-Christian actual affiliations; and they mainly got the visas issued without issue and the associated application forms filed without altering the entries submitted by the visa applicants.
I am looking forward to finding out what people are doing vis-a-vis the Indian government's visa applications that request religious affiliation disclosure. [Unlike with Saudi Arabia, India formally has no state religion and there is a lot of freedom of religion in some ways.]
