Remove religion property edit

The religion property should be deleted. As it is, the data implies that African Americans are only known to engage in the religions listed or that engaging in the religions listed is a defining characteristic of African Americans. Neither is true. Besides, African Americans engage in such a wide range of religions that to make an accurate list would be less effective than not trying to include this information or noting that African Americans have various religions. Obviously, as a group of people who share an ethnic identity based on their history and how they are perceived by others, people in this group will make a diversity of choices in their religious beliefs. The three currently listed might be the dominant three (I have no idea), but that's not what the religion property tells us.
