Whereas I don't see the Saudis examing the depth of your Christian belief, I'm quite sure they have a few specialist when it comes to the followers of Mohammed...

Of course I always wonder if "pedestrian" would be an acceptable option

They have no reliable, routine way to testing religious affiliation of muslims. I have not heard of them asking male visa applicants to "whip it out" to do a circumcision check or doing a stomach contents examination to figure out if a person willfully eats pork and drinks alcohol or not.
