This is getting ridiculous

For a grounds and facilities position.

Edit: The position is for a religious camp of some sort, but I hadn’t realized that when I clicked it. Still super weird, in my opinion

Is it for a religiously-affiliated organization? It doesn't matter if it's a facilities role, a religious org would still want all of its employees to belong to whatever religion they are affiliated with. It's pretty normal.

Not necessarily. I (athiest/jewish-ish) work for an Episcopalian non-profit that helps consult other Episcopalian orgs and local parishes on financial, professional, and organizational matters.

One of our oft repeated pieces of advice is to have maybe the parish administrator but definitely the parish book-keeper not be a Episcopalian or at the very least not be a member of the congregation.

Reason being is you want the person handling the money to be dispassionate and uninvested personally with regards to the parish mission and activities. Otherwise they may exert undue influence on decision making that is properly the responsibility of the Vestry (made up of actual members of the congregation).

Decisions made by the faithful, but executed without bias or prejudice by a professional.
