It's important because I can't get inside my Husband's country which is Saudi Arabia without my passport sayin I'm Muslim on it.

no passport declares religion, see separation of church from state.
KSA is a Muslim country, if your husband is Saudi and Muslim by all rights (from a family pov) he should marry a Muslim, or his spouse should convert. In the middle East a Muslim man may marry a non Muslim woman even though she does not convert- it may not be popular but it it not illegal, on the other hand if a Muslim woman were to marry a non Muslim man and he failed to convert this would be held in an extremely serious light and could lead to her death- honour killing- and best she and her husband would need to flee or abandon their country for favour of living in the west. you could get a certificate or decree from the Islamic Judicial Council, the governing body stating that you have converted to Islam, this would be acceptable in KSA.

If it's an American passport, the answer is No and No.
Edited to add: You do NOT want to live in Saudi Arabia. The laws are very strict/sexist. Legally you really have no rights over yourself or any children you may have with this man.
I would go to the State Department website ( http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1012.html ) to get an idea of what the laws and travel information. They tell you about rules and regualtions for spouses of Saudi men. My friend was married to a guy who worked in Saudi (he was not Saudi himself) and she got a spousal visa so they could live together until his contract was up. Good Luck.

Why would you want to put your religion on it? Simply sayingi that you're a christian doesn't make you a christian. One knows a christian by the way he/she acts. same goes for buddhist, hindo, muslim, whatever. Anyone who talks to me about religion is descredited because anyone can say anything, but it's much more difficult to walk that way.

No matter who you are or where you're going it would be highly inadvisable to put your religion on your passport.

No. In America there is freedom of religion.
In other countries you could possibly be killed based on your beliefs...don't make waves.
