It's all about you

You should tailor your CV to meet the requirements set out in the job description. I don't mean lie, I mean emphasise the relevant qualities and remove the irrelevant ones.

So, if you're applying for a role with links to a particular faith and you're part of that faith, you may wish to volunteer that information. Then again, they may be looking for a more diverse workforce so it may count against you.

Your CV gets you in the door, it's how you perform in interview that's important. I'd say leave it off your CV but mention it in interview if you think it's relevant.

P.S. I've been turned down for a job before because of my beard. It's not for religious reasons, just aesthetics. Turns out that means it's not discrimination. On the plus side, the company was nuts, the only thing missing was the Initech sign.

Repair or replace

Surely if it's a biohazard and not safe for someone to repair, they can just replace it?
