They're mostly asking because access to Mecca is restricted to Muslims, and your visa won't be valid for this area if you aren't one. I don't know if they examine your faith in depth beside this administrative problem. They must get Muslims workers of all denominations with a work visa, and even more on a Hajj visa.

Of course I always wonder if "pedestrian" would be an acceptable option
With the UK having 10,000 or so people claiming to be of Jedi faith in a public census, who knows?
