You can't make this stuff up.
Under federal law, the executive branch is expressly required to take religion into account in determining who is granted asylum. Under the provision governing asylum (section 1158 of Title 8, U.S. Code), an alien applying for admission must establish that … religion [among other things] … was or will be at least one central reason for persecuting the applicant.

Edumacation can be good. "If a refugee says he or she fears religious persecution, then their religion absorbs a lot of time in the interview process. But if their fear stems from their political views, then there is no obligation to ask about their religion.
Still, experts said it is standard practice to ask refugees about their religion, even if they are not specifically escaping religious persecution."

So religious persecution may or may not be a determining factor in their getting asylum.
However it doesn't seem to disallow a refugee from coming here because of their religion.
Race, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion are other reasons for granting asylum.
