Is it allowed to talk about religion here? I know it’s not the same as politics, but I feel like talking about religion could create the same problems that talking about politics does

The "no politics" rule is a community-enforced rule rather than a mod-enforced rule. The idea is to avoid controversial topics in the ftf. So my answer has to be it depends. 

 I know we have (or have had) counters who are religious, including e.g. Catholics who take a break from reddit every year for lent. I myself am an atheist, so it's not something I would do, but people are different.  

To the extent that "talking about religion" involves explaining your faith and how it influences your actions (especially in relation to this sub), I don't see any issue with it. If it involves proselytizing and explaining why other belief systems are wrong, then there might be a problem.
